Contribution Plot

🕵️‍♂️ What is this?

This is a crime scene analysis chart. It allows you to dig deeper: Who exactly caused this sample anomaly?

It compares the difference between an abnormal sample and a normal sample, and assigns responsibility to specific variables.

🧐 How to read?

• Columns: Each column represents a variable.
• Height: Represents the contribution of this variable to the anomaly.
• Positive/Negative:
  • Positive: This variable is too high compared to normal values.
  • Negative: This variable is too low compared to normal values.

🛠️ How to use?

• Find the culprit: Look at the tallest column - it's the main cause of the anomaly!
• Investigate the reason: For example, if "temperature" has the greatest contribution, check if the air conditioner broke down that day.
