When to use it

  • Use it when comparing two lists to understand the many-to-many relationship between them (it is not useful if there is a simple one-to-one relationship).
  • Use it to determine the strength of the relationship between either single pairs of items or a single item and another complete list.
  • Use it when the second list is generated as a result of the first list, to determine the success of that generation process. For example, customer requirements versus design specifications.
