How can i plot a Correlation HeatMap?

General Usage

Hello Guys!

I need a help. i want make this heatmap:

heat

I’m trying with that code:

Plots.heatmap(cor(Matrix(df[!,[:Age,:Balance, :Tenure,:NumOfProducts,:EstimatedSalary]]))
)

image

**

But how can i put the annotations of the correlation values and the columns names in the ticks?

**

Another try but using a DataFrame:

a = DataFrame(cor(Matrix(df[!,[:Age,:Balance, :Tenure,:NumOfProducts, :EstimatedSalary]])), [:Age,:Balance, :Tenure,:NumOfProducts, :EstimatedSalary])
Age Balance Tenure NumOfProducts EstimatedSalary
Float64 Float64 Float64 Float64 Float64
1 1.0 0.0283084 -0.00999683 -0.0306801 -0.00720104
2 0.0283084 1.0 -0.0122539 -0.30418 0.0127975
3 -0.00999683 -0.0122539 1.0 0.0134438 0.00778383
4 -0.0306801 -0.30418 0.0134438 1.0 0.0142042
5 -0.00720104 0.0127975 0.00778383 0.0142042 1.0 
begin
@df a Plots.heatmap(cols([:Age,:Balance, :Tenure,:NumOfProducts,:EstimatedSalary]))
	annotate!([(1, 1, (a[1,1], 8, :red, :center))])
end

image

Here i used annotate to create the correlation value, but i made this manually and have no idea of how to put the column names in the ticks.

Have another clever or easier way to do that?

Thx!

One way is by searching discourse, which led me here.

I’m working all day on this and i found a solution, off course isn’t the best.

1 - First i created a dataframe with the correlations:

a = DataFrame(cor(Matrix(df[!,[:Age,:Balance, :Tenure,:NumOfProducts, :EstimatedSalary]])), [:Age,:Balance, :Tenure,:NumOfProducts, :EstimatedSalary])
Age Balance Tenure NumOfProducts EstimatedSalary
Float64 Float64 Float64 Float64 Float64
1 1.0 0.0283084 -0.00999683 -0.0306801 -0.00720104
2 0.0283084 1.0 -0.0122539 -0.30418 0.0127975
3 -0.00999683 -0.0122539 1.0 0.0134438 0.00778383
4 -0.0306801 -0.30418 0.0134438 1.0 0.0142042
5 -0.00720104 0.0127975 0.00778383 0.0142042 1.0

2 - Then this for loop

begin
	g = []
	b = 1
	for e in 1:5
		for i in eachrow(a[!,[:Age,:Balance,:Tenure,:NumOfProducts,:EstimatedSalary]])
			if b == 1
				c = (e, e, (string(round(i[1],digits = 3)), 8, :red, :center))
			elseif b == e
				c = (e, 1, (string(round(i[1],digits = 3)), 8, :red, :center))
			else
				c = (e, b, (string(round(i[e],digits = 3)), 8, :red, :center))
			end
			
			if b <= 4 
				b += 1
			else
				b = 1
			end
			push!(g,c)
		end
	end
end

3 - Convert the types of g:

k = Vector{Tuple{Int64, Int64, Tuple{String, Int64, Symbol, Symbol}}}(g)

4 - Finally the Correlation Heatmap.

begin
	xlabel = names(a)
	
	@df a Plots.heatmap(cols([:Age,:Balance, :Tenure,:NumOfProducts,:EstimatedSalary]);
	xticks=(1:5, xlabel),
	yticks=(1:5, xlabel))
	annotate!(k)

end

Thx, with your post i implemented the columns names in the ticks

Fyi, plot argument xrotation=90 rotates the xticks as per your model example.

Nice! thx for the tip.

Below the final function to plot a corr heatmap:


function corrheatmap(df::AbstractDataFrame ,colnames::Vector{Symbol})
	a = DataFrame(cor(Matrix(df[!,colnames])), colnames)
	
	g = []
	b = 1
	for e in 1:length(colnames)
		for i in eachrow(a[!,colnames])
			if b == 1 && e != 1
				c = (e, e, (string(round(i[1],digits = 3)), 8, :red, :center))
			elseif b == e
				c = (e, 1, (string(round(i[1],digits = 3)), 8, :red, :center))
			else
				c = (e, b, (string(round(i[e],digits = 3)), 8, :red, :center))
			end
			
			if b < length(colnames) 
				b += 1
			else
				b = 1
			end
			push!(g,c)
		end
	end

	k = Vector{Tuple{Int64, Int64, Tuple{String, Int64, Symbol, Symbol}}}(g)

	@df a Plots.heatmap(cols(colnames);
		xticks=(1:length(colnames), colnames),
		yticks=(1:length(colnames), colnames),
		xrotation = 90)
		annotate!(k)
	
end

corrheatmap(df,[:Age,:Balance,:EstimatedSalary])

Your efforts are commendable, but please note that this task should be less labor intensive. For example we could do:

using DataFrames, Statistics, Plots

# INPUT DATA
df = DataFrame(Age=rand(4), Balance=rand(4), Tenure=rand(4), Salary=rand(4))
cols = [:Age, :Balance, :Tenure]  # define subset
M = cor(Matrix(df[!,cols]))       # correlation matrix

# PLOT
(n,m) = size(M)
heatmap(M, fc=cgrad([:white,:dodgerblue4]), xticks=(1:m,cols), xrot=90, yticks=(1:m,cols), yflip=true)
annotate!([(j, i, text(round(M[i,j],digits=3), 8,"Computer Modern",:black)) for i in 1:n for j in 1:m])

(NB: added yflip=true for standard orientation of matrix display)

Wow! Nice @rafael.guerra !

Your solution its much better and clean, i’ll use that.

Thx for participating!

If somebody arrives here looking for a solution with Makie. Below is an adaptation of @rafael.guerra’s code:

df = DataFrame(Age=rand(4), Balance=rand(4), Tenure=rand(4), Salary=rand(4))
cols = [:Age, :Balance, :Tenure]  # define subset
M = cor(Matrix(df[!,cols]))       # correlation matrix
(n,m) = size(M)
# # Plots.jl
# Plots.heatmap(M, fc=cgrad([:white,:dodgerblue4]), xticks=(1:m,cols), xrot=90, yticks=(1:m,cols), yflip=true)
# Plots.annotate!([(j, i, Plots.text(round(M[i,j],digits=3), 8,"Computer Modern",:black)) for i in 1:n for j in 1:m])
# Makie.jl
fig, axis_hm, plot_hm =
    Makie.heatmap(M;
        colormap = :RdBu, colorrange = (-1,1),
        axis = (xticks=(1:m, String.(cols)),
                yticks=(1:m,String.(cols)),
                yreversed=true,
                xticklabelrotation = π/2));
Makie.Colorbar(fig[1, 2], plot_hm);
[Makie.text!(axis_hm,
    "$(round(M[i,j],digits=3))",
    position = (i,j),
    align = (:center, :center), fontsize=14,
    color = ifelse(abs(M[i,j]) > 0.5, :white, :black))
    for i in 1:n for j in 1:m];
fig

Bump to add PlotlyJS solution in case anyone is interest.

using Statistics
using DataFrames
using Printf
using PlotlyJS

function plot_cormap(df::AbstractDataFrame; colorscale="Viridis", fontcolor="#aabbcc", fontsize=14)
    m = cor(Matrix(df))
    annotations = [
        attr(text=@sprintf("%.2f", m[i,j]), x=names(df)[i], y=names(df)[j], showarrow=false, font=attr(size=fontsize, color=fontcolor)) for i in 1:size(m)[1] for j in 1:size(m)[2]
    ]
    t = heatmap(z=m, x=names(df), y=names(df), colorscale=colorscale)

    layout = Layout(;
        annotations
    )

    return plot(t, layout)
end

The following figure is produced by

df = DataFrame(rand(10, 10), :auto)
plot_cormap(df)
