Parallel Coordinates Conceptual Overview: Explore how parallel coordinate plots can reveal differences between groups. In a parallel coordinates plot, the axes for different variables are aligned so that their maximum and minimum values are (approximately) at the top and bottom, respectively, of dimension. The graph below plots seasonal data for two baseball players playing two different positions: first base ('1B', the solid blue line) and second base ('2B', the dashed red line). Players are compared across the three dimensions of home runs hit, bases stolen, and batting average. Can you see the difference in pattern for the two types of players? Click on the graph to cycle through displays of both types of players, first base only, and second base only
