Science - Mathematics & Statistics / Air pollution in the home
French term or phrase: plan de corrélations
Enfin, une représentation optimisée dans le plan des corrélations entre les COV a été réalisée à partir de la même mesure de dissimilarité que celle utilisée pour la CHA. Cette approche permet de représenter, dans un espace en deux dimensions, les distances entre des points qui sont en réalité dans un espace à dimensions multiples, non pas par projection comme dans l’approche ACP, mais par optimisation.

This is from a report on air pollution in the home.
Would I be on the right track with 'correlation plane'?

correlation chart/ scatter diagram
Explanation:
I'm not sure about "correlation plane". This may be referring to a scatter diagram where one variable plotted against another gives a straight line or well-defined curve if correlated, or just a random mess if not.

Thanks Chris and other contributors. Seems it refers to the diagram as a whole -though this is not clear.

Explanation:
"an optimized representation concerning correlations between COV (covariances)"
une suggestion !

correlation matrix


Explanation:
Hard to picture what they're getting at exactly - but I'm familiar with these.

Have a look at "correlation map".

In other words, it's simply a plot of the COVs.

  -> yes, if there are axes it's not a matrix, but I didn't have this info when I posted
