Name?
[edit]Where does this "kiviat diagram" name come from? DS (talk) 12:52, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
- Good question. First I thought I read it in the given source: Michael Friendly's "Star Plots - Statistical Graphics for Multivariate Data" but I didn't. It was add here Aug 2008 by an anon. The "kiviat diagram" is an existing type of diagram, but I can't yet find a source that links the both. I will keep looking. If you know more, please let me know? -- Mdd (talk) 23:26, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
- I just noticed, see here, the use of an other alternative name: "cobweb". -- Mdd (talk) 00:28, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
The controversy of Spider Charts as a valid medium is not suitably discussed
[edit]My view of Spider Charts is that they are an attempt to create a new chart type where one is not needed. Data can be displayed in a more parsimonious way using bar or line charts. Spider Charts over complicate the presentation and are often used to blind the audience into submission. Furthermore they are subject to the issues of scale magnitude (weight) and nominal category ordering. I do not think Spider Charts are serious or robust statistical display techniques and this article needs a healthy dose of skepticism to readdress the balance. 194.176.105.145 (talk) 08:19, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
Radar charts are controversial
[edit]Radar charts are controversial as they are very often misused. I do not consider them to be a serious statistical tool. I think this article needs to be more balanced by providing a substantial criticism of them.194.176.105.145 (talk) 10:02, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Examples
[edit]The detail of the star plot of the Cadillac Seville has the axis in the opposite direction to the other example containing multiple plots.
This highlights the kind of error that can be made comparing multiple graphs of this type. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.15.100.212 (talk) 21:58, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
