Seaborn- Matrix Plot

Matrix plots allow you to plot data as color-encoded matrices and can also be used to indicate clusters within the data (later in the machine learning section we will learn how to formally cluster data).

So in this article we will deal with basically two plots as per follow:

  1. Heatmaps:- A heat map (or heatmap) is a graphical representation of data where values are depicted by color. Heat maps make it easy to visualize complex data and understand it at a glance. To use a heatmap the data should be in a matrix form i.e the index name and the column name must match in some way ­so that the data that we fill inside the cells are relevant.
  2. Cluster maps:- Cluster maps uses hierarchical clustering. It performs the clustering based on the similarity of the rows and columns.
