UpSet Introduction

This is an UpSet plot that shows the intersections of 4 sets of 44 elements. To learn about UpSet plots, visit https://upset.app. The dataset is about attributes of The Simpsons characters. The largest 2 intersections are the empty intersection (8) and just School (4). The largest intersection of at least two sets is between Evil and Power Plant, with 2 elements. Other large intersections also involve School and Power Plant.

Set Properties

The set sizes are moderately diverging, ranging from 3 to 6. The largest set is School with 6 elements, followed by Evil with 6, Power Plant with 5, and Blue Hair with 3.

Intersection Properties

The plot is sorted by size in descending order. There are 8 non-empty intersections, all of which are shown in the plot The largest 5 intersections are the empty intersection (8); just School (4); just Power Plant (3); just Evil (3); and Evil and Power Plant (2).

Statistical Information

The average intersection size is 3, and the median is 2. The 90th percentile is 8, and the 10th percentile is 1 The largest set, School, is present in 37.5% of all non-empty intersections The smallest set, Blue Hair, is present in 25.0% of all non-empty intersections.

Trend Analysis

The intersection sizes peak at a value of 8 and then rapidly flatten down to 1. The empty intersection is the largest by a factor of 2 The empty intersection is present with a size of 8 An all set intersection is not present The individual set intersections are in large and medium intersections The low degree set intersections are in small and medium sized intersections No high order intersections are present.

Glossary

  • Elements: elements are discrete entities, such as people, movies, countries. They are often the rows in tables, and we record attributes about them.
  • Set: a set is an attribute of an element that expresses a “part-of”, “is-a”, “has-a” relationship, and so on. For example, a person can be in a club (a part-of relationship), or a car can be of a type, such as a convertible (an is-a relationship). They are often columns in a table.
  • Set sizes: set sizes count how many elements are in a certain set. For example, if a dataset has 100 cars as elements, and 30 of the cars are convertibles, the set size of the set “convertibles” is 30.
  • Intersections: sets of attributes commonly intersect. For example, a car can be both, in an “electric” set and in the “convertible” set.
  • Intersection size: the number of elements that are in a particular intersection.
  • All-set intersection: a special intersection that is of all sets in the dataset.
  • Empty intersection or No-set intersection: a special intersection that contains the elements that are in no set in the dataset.
  • Individual-set intersection: a special intersection that contains elements that are only in one set but not in any others.
  • Low-degree intersections: intersections between only a few sets.
  • High-degree intersections: intersections between many sets.
