Different types of Matrix Diagrams

Matrix diagrams can be sorted into several types depending on the number of data sets being compared.

• L-shaped Relates two sets of elements to one another or a single set of elements to itself.
• T-shaped Relates three sets of elements where there is no relation between the two sets that are related to a common set.
• Y-shaped Relates three sets of elements where one set is related to the other two sets in a circular manner.
• C-shaped relates three sets of elements simultaneously.
• X-shaped relates four sets of elements.
• Roof-shaped relates one set of elements to itself.
