Plot using the dispersal of scattered dots to show the relationship between variables
Not to be confused with Correlogram or Scatter matrix.
Scatter plot
One of the Seven Basic Tools of Quality
First described by
John Herschel
Purpose
To identify the type of relationship (if any) between two quantitative variables
Waiting time between eruptions and the duration of the eruption for the Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. This chart suggests there are generally two types of eruptions: short-wait-short-duration, and long-wait-long-duration.A 3D scatter plot allows the visualization of multivariate data. This scatter plot takes multiple scalar variables and uses them for different axes in phase space. The different variables are combined to form coordinates in the phase space and they are displayed using glyphs and coloured using another scalar variable.[1]
A scatter plot, also called a scatterplot, scatter graph, scatter chart, scattergram, or scatter diagram,[2] is a type of plot or mathematical diagram using Cartesian coordinates to display values for typically two variables for a set of data. If the points are coded (color/shape/size), one additional variable can be displayed.
The data are displayed as a collection of points, each having the value of one variable determining the position on the horizontal axis and the value of the other variable determining the position on the vertical axis.[3]
The first description of the scatter plot is generally attributed to John Herschel (1792–1871).[4][5]
