# Pairplot: Visualizing High Dimensional Data¶

This example provides how to visualize high dimensional data using the pairplot.

[1]:

import graspy

import numpy as np
%matplotlib inline


## Simulate a binary graph using stochastic block model¶

The 3-block model is defined as below:

\begin{align*} n &= [50, 50, 50]\\ P &= \begin{bmatrix}0.5 & 0.1 & 0.05 \\ 0.1 & 0.4 & 0.15 \\ 0.05 & 0.15 & 0.3 \end{bmatrix} \end{align*}

Thus, the first 50 vertices belong to block 1, the second 50 vertices belong to block 2, and the last 50 vertices belong to block 3.

[2]:

from graspy.simulations import sbm

n_communities = [50, 50, 50]
p = [[0.5, 0.1, 0.05],
[0.1, 0.4, 0.15],
[0.05, 0.15, 0.3],]

np.random.seed(2)
A = sbm(n_communities, p)


## Embed using adjacency spectral embedding to obtain lower dimensional representation of the graph¶

The embedding dimension is automatically chosen. It should embed to 3 dimensions.

[3]:

from graspy.embed import AdjacencySpectralEmbed

X = ase.fit_transform(A)

print(X.shape)

(150, 3)


## Use pairplot to plot the embedded data¶

First we generate labels that correspond to blocks. We pass the labels along with the data for pair plot.

[4]:

from graspy.plot import pairplot

labels = ['Block 1'] * 50 + ['Block 2'] * 50 + ['Block 3'] * 50

plot = pairplot(X, labels)
