Parallel Coordinate Plot

A parallel coordinate plot is used to visualize and analyze multivariate numerical data by representing each variable as a parallel axis and plotting individual data points as polylines. It allows comparison of samples across variables and is useful for multivariate data analysis, cluster detection, and outlier detection. Interactive features like highlighting and brushing can filter data.

Description
A Parallel coordinates plot is used to analyze
multivariate numerical data. It allows a comparison of
the samples or observations across multiple numerical
variables.
Each feature/variable is represented by a separate
axis. All the axes are equally spaced and parallel to
each other. Each axis can have a different scale and
unit of measurement.
Each sample/observation is plotted horizontally.
