On the visualization of categorical data, if the number of categories is small, we can consider Hayashi Quantification Method 3 for visualization of the categories of the variables. But it is known that the method is unstable because it quantifies more significantly for the small frequency categories rather than large frequency categories. The purpose of this research is to propose the visualization of large two-way crosstabulation data by PLS methods for checking the relationship between the categories of row and column variables. In this research, we utilize the PLS visualization methods (Huh et al., 2007) that is proposed for visualization of the qualitative data to visualize the categories of the large categorical data. We also compared both methods by applying them to real data, and studied the results from PLS visualization method on the real categorized data with many categories.
