New Perspectives in Statistical Modeling and Data Analysis

Abstract

Skew-symmetric data matrices can be represented in graphical displays in different ways. Some simple procedures that can be easily performed by standard software will be proposed and applied in this communication. Other methods based on spatial models that need ad hoc computational programs will be also reviewed emphasizing advantages and disadvantages in their applications.
