Correlation Bars
If we want to find out the most important variable for the maximum thickness reduction, we can just view the correlation of the maximum percent thickness reduction (prc_thick_red_max) with the variables.
Start the LS-OPT Viewer by selecting the Viewer panel and
- Select Correlation Bars.
- From the left side, select Response→prc_thick_red_max.
- choose to show the Correlation.
- This bar diagram shows the correlation coefficients of the maximum percent reduction (prc_thick_red_max) with all the variables and gives the 95% confidence intervals of the estimation at the meantime. Obviously, the variable YIELD is most correlated with the maximum percent thickness reduction.
- We can verify this fact in different ways (also see Correlation Matrix and Scatter Plots).
