Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present graphical methods used in the study of nom-inal variables. The analysis of these variables carried out for each variable separately, is rarely craved by a researcher. The diagnosis of dependence and its strength for both nominal variables at the same time can wider describe these variables. All presented techniques and methods enable to consider nominal variables from the perspective of the category and the interaction between categories of different variables. This article presents an analysis of the profiles, the cumulative bar charts, mosaic display and correspondence analysis.
