Borg, Ingwer; Staufenbiel, Thomas – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 1992
The representation of multivariate data by icons is discussed. The factorial sun is suggested as superior to the commonly used snowflake or sun icons and as better representing the values of the different variables and their correlational structure. Two experiments with 60 college students demonstrate the factorial sun's superiority. (SLD)
