Video: Using heat maps to visualize matrices

2

One of my presentations at SAS Global Forum 2014 was about the new heat map functions in SAS/IML 13.1. Over the summer I created a short video of my presentation, which gives an overview of visualizing matrices with heat maps, and describes how to choose colors for heat maps:

If you prefer to read articles about heat maps so that you can study the concepts and cut and paste examples, here are a few recent blog posts that are based on my SAS Global Forum presentation:

For a fun application of discrete heat maps, see my article about implementing a one-dimensional cellular automata in SAS.
