Clustering of mesothelioma tumor samples (X attribute) by clinical data (Y attribute) reveals possible epidemiological relationships between the various clinical features. Some well known relationships (such as stage of disease, lymph node status, death), as well as some less established patterns (such as a correlation between high platelet count and recurrence) are readily observed in this mode of operation. The degree of the clinical event is represented on a mean centered scale, such that red and green indicate relatively high and low extents respectively. A subset of samples has been selected based upon the extent of a single trait, in this case prolonged survival time (blue).
