Janusplot
Description
Render a pairwise, asymmetric smoothed-association matrix of continuous variables. Each cell shows the fitted spline from an 'mgcv' generalised additive model, with the upper triangle displaying 'gam(x_j ~ s(x_i))' and the lower triangle 'gam(x_i ~ s(x_j))'. Unlike Pearson's correlation matrix, the visualisation is intentionally asymmetric, revealing heteroscedasticity, leverage, and directional non-linearity that a single scalar correlation hides. An asymmetry index and a 24-category shape taxonomy quantify the directional difference and qualitative form of each fitted smooth.
