OT: How to graph a specific data set?

[Martin Koob]

Hi Paul

Just looking at the data I think a 3D chart like this image would be good.  

https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Wolfgang_Effelsberg/publication/221453979/figure/fig3/AS:305503222681602@1449849052222/A-visualization-with-load-distribution-bar-chart_Q320.jpg
Mountain background would be optional I think :-).

You could conditionally colour code the bars as well as Bill suggested to make correlated intersections stand out (especially if you have a large range)  i.e. all 0 intersections are a black or white dot, all 1 intersections are red, 2 intersections are orange, 3 intersections are yellow, 4 intersections are green and so on.

I am suspecting you want to keep the experiment confidential, but I would need a lot more information about the source of the data and goals of the experiment to make useful comments. But, I think if you carefully state the questions that are being asked about the data, the answer will become more clear to you.

Offhand, you could map the intersections and color code them with the magnitude of the variable you are trying to correlate them with. Just guessing.... That assumes the intersections are geographic and there are other variables related to the intersection.
