A scatterplot or scatter graph is a graph used in statistics to visually display and compare two or more sets of related quantitative, or numerical, data by displaying only finitely many points, each having a coordinate on a horizontal and a vertical axis.

For example, if a statistician were studying the effects of lung capacity on the ability to hold one's breath, he would choose a group of people to study, and he would test each one's lung capacity (first data set) and how long that person could hold their breath (second data set). Then he would set up a scatter plot, assigning "lung capacity" to the horizontal axis, and "time holding breath" to the vertical axis. A person with a lung capacity of 400 cc who held their breath for 21.7 seconds would be represented by a single dot on the scatter plot at the point (400, 21.7) in Cartesian coordinates. The scatter plot of all the people in the study would enable the statistician to obtain a visual comparison of the two sets of data, and help him to determine what kind of relationship there might be between them. The lungs flank the heart and great vessels in the chest cavity. ... Cartesian means relating to the French mathematician and philosopher Descartes, who, among other things, worked to merge algebra and Euclidean geometry. ...


Scatter Plot (or scatter diagram) shows the position of all of the cases in an x-y or x-y-z coordinate system. The relationship between interval variables can be identified from scatter graph. A dot in the body of the chart represents the intersection of the data on the x and y axis.


One advantage of a scatterplot is that it does not require a user to specify dependent or independent variables. Either type of variable can be plotted on either axes. Scatterplots represents the association (not causation) between two variables.

Data Mining Survivor: Multiple_Variable - Multi-Dimension Scatterplot (177 words)
This produces a scatterplot for each pair of variables, with the variable names identified in the diagonal.
Each plot is a scatterplot of the data for the variable in the column by the variable in the row.
The upper right triangle of the scatterplot is the mirror image of the lower left triangle of the scatterplot--with the axes swapped.
