Abstract: We show the use of scripts to meet two useful objectives: (1) display a graphic of correlation between all selected continuous variables: using an (n x n) matrix of density ellipses, and (2) display a selected independent variable vs a selected dependent v ariable for different classes to see which class is the best, and visually, by how much. We also show and discuss the elements of the 50% density ellipse and its usefulness.
