Line Mosaic Plot: Algorithm and Implementation
Moon Yul Huh · 2004
Conventional mosaic plot is to graphically represent contingency tables by tiles whose size is proportional to the cell count. The plot is informative when we are well trained reading this. This paper introduces a new approach for mosaic plot called line mosaic plot which uses lines instead of tiles to represent the size of the cells in contingency tables. We also give a general straightforward algorithm to construct the plot directly from the data set while the conventional approach is to construct the plot from the cross tabulation. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this tool for visual inference using a real data set.
