A TRIAL OF MODIFICATION OF THE FACE GRAPH PROPOSED BY CHERNOFF

—BODY GRAPH—

Abstract

The face graph proposed by Chernoff has much contributed to grasp the global structures of the multi-dimensional data in many fields. However, when the data of one's body such as stature, body-weight, chest-circumference and sitting-height are concerned, a body graph proposed in the present paper can represent the global structures of the data more efficiently than the face graph. In this paper we mention how to construct and to use a body graph through some practical examples.
