Correlation Matrix

The correlation matrix displays attributes, attributes values (in the case of discrete attributes), and correlations between customer and products. Each cell in the matrix provides a visual indication of how attributes are correlated, along with the correlation value. Various colors indicate the strength of the correlation among attributes, with -1 and 1 indicating strong association.

Table 5-15 shows the strength of the correlation for the different ranges of values for the correlation coefficient.
