    • In mathematics, an incidence matrix is a matrix that shows the relationship between two classes of objects. If the first class is [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and the second is [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math], the matrix has one row for each element of [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and one column for each element of Y. The entry in row [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math] and column [math]\displaystyle{ y }[/math] is 1 if [math]\displaystyle{ x }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ y }[/math] are related (called incident in this context) and 0 if they are not. There are variations; see below.
