Heatmap for Perform Attribute Agreement Study

Use Heatmap to visualize the results of an Attribute Agreement Analysis. Heatmaps plot statistics like the mean of numeric attributes or like the counts of text attributes. For example, you can compare the mean ratings from two appraisers for the same sample.

This example applies to the Measurement System Analysis Module. For more information, go to www.minitab.com/measurement-system-analysis-module.
