correlation matrix

A correlation Matrix is a type of matrix that establishes a relationship between two or more variables. This type of Matrix has data variable names that are listed across its top row and along its first column and a diagonal always consisting of ones that goes from its upper left corner to its lower right corner. Our correlation matrix shows the relationship between the "top 100 cancer genes," and it has a red diagonal running from its left to right corner that consists of one values.
