Each time relations are analysed, the pattern of the graph is chosen to reflect the specific data. In this particular case, we are looking for linear relations to illustrate the distribution of features seen in Graph 3.1. The collinear relationship ratio of the Welfare Index and Health Index is 0.219 (Pearson correlation ratio) and thus, relatively weak. The collinear relationship ratio of the Welfare Index and the Education Index is 0.701 which is quite strong. Relations between the Education Index and the Health Index are moderate, 0.392. Generally speaking, the three dimensions of the LHDI are relatively correlated, although education seems to be linked more strongly to welfare than to health. AÂ visualisation of the Local Human Development Index can be seen in Graph 3.2 (voivodeships) and Map 3.1. (counties).
