Use Cases For Heatmaps

As we know the Heatmap is just a colored representation of a matrix. However, heatmap has a very large use case. We can use heatmaps for the following purpose.

  •  It is used to see the correlation between columns of a dataset where we can use a darker color for columns having a high correlation. 
  •  We can also use heatmaps for plotting various time series and finance-related data where the Y-axis will be the month and X-axis will be the year and the element of the heatmap will be our data.
