Sieve Diagrams

A sieve diagram shows the frequencies in a two-way contingency table in relation to expected frequencies under independence, and highlights the pattern of association between the row and column variables. The sieve diagram was proposed by Riedwyl and Schüpbach in a technical report in 1983 and later called a parquet diagram (Riedwyl and Schüpbach, 1994).
