Scatter Plot

Overview

Scatter Plot tab provides a visual representation of the relationship between two variables. Scatter Plot uses a coordinate plane, which is a two-dimension surface formed by two axes (horizontal and vertical axes) to plot data points. Therefore, each data point in the dataset is represented by a combination of horizontal and vertical values. User can specify the size of the data points by specifying a third variable. Through the distribution of data points plotted in this tab, correlation and patterns between variables can be visually grasped.
