Visual Perception of Symmetry - III

Background:

Visual Perception of Symmetry II

Visual Perception of Symmetry I

The flag preference experiments described above were repeated in the Fall semester of 2011, with the same purpose of ranking the flags according to one's preference. The orbit structure of the flags was precisely the same. However, the flags were square in shape and the colors were the basic RGBY colors. Here are the flags presented for ranking:

The joint distribution of frequency counts for first-choice flag (rows) and second-choice flags (columns) is shown below. A total of 13 students ranked the flags in each of the 6 rows, thus together producing the 78 rankings for the joint distribution below.

In future postings we will be studying these data using the methods of symmetry orbits.
