Compass Plots: A Combination of Star Plot and Analysis of Means to Visualize Significant Interactions in Complex Toxicology Studies

Using Radar Plots for Curricular Mapping to Visualize Assessment in a New Doctor of Pharmacy Program

“…8 Radar plots are 2-dimensional graphs designed to plot one or more series of values over multiple common quantitative variables by providing an axis for each variable, arranged radially as equiangular spokes around a central point. Radar plots are circular rather than linear, and when the plotted variables are connected with a line, an enclosed shape results, making the data more visually accessible than when displayed in a tabular format.…”

Radar plots: a useful way for presenting multivariate health care data

“…In general, the common feature of radial plots is that they are a circular graphing method and have a series of spokes or rays projecting from a central point, with each ray representing a different variable label. The values of the variables are encoded into the lengths of the rays, and the values so plotted are sometimes connected to form an enclosed figure [5]. They are akin to profile plots that have been wrapped about a central point.…”

“…In some situations, characteristic shapes such as stars are used to represent optimal configurations [6]. In other cases, symmetrical polygons are also used as indicators of the normal or nominal conditions [5].…”

A New Procedure to Monitor the Mean of a Quality Characteristic

“…Some other applications of the ANOM for testing the interaction effects were investigated by Ramig (1983), Nelson (1988), Wludyka and Nelson (1997), and Budsaba et al (2000).…”
