Titles and descriptionĬharts and axes are given default titles based on the variable names and chart type. The appearance of a scatter plot matrix, including title text and visual styling, can be customized through the Chart Properties pane. It is also possible to specify a sort order by selecting a Sort direction option. This arranges the scatter plot matrix to move the Target field to the first column of the grid and sorts the rows according to the metric score specified by the selected Sort by option. To better understand the strength of relationships between two variables, a Target field can be set with a Sort by option of R-Squared or Pearson's r. The scatter plot matrix grid can be sorted according to the order of field names, the strength of relationships, a custom order, or alphabetically. Histograms-Displays histograms that show the distribution of each numeric variable in the matrix.The Diagonal can be configured to display any of the following options: None-The upper right half of the layout is left blank.Mirrored Scatterplot-Displays a mirrored grid of the miniplots.Preview Plot-Displays a detailed, interactive view of the selected miniplot.The Upper right half of the layout can be configured to display any of the following options: None-The lower left half of the layout is left blank.
Pearson's r-Displays a mirrored grid of the miniplots shown as r-values, with a diverging color gradient corresponding to the strength and direction of the relationship. R-Squared-Displays a mirrored grid of the miniplots shown as R² values, with a color gradient corresponding to the strength of the relationship. Scatterplots-Displays a mirrored grid of the miniplots. The Lower left half of the layout can be configured to display any of the following options: Each half of the matrix, as well as the diagonal, can be configured to suit your visualization needs. LayoutĪ scatter plot matrix layout consists of two halves cut across a diagonal. Alternatively, you can view the miniplots in the grid as R² or Pearson's r values with a color gradient corresponding to the strength of the value by setting the Lower left and Upper right controls in the Chart Properties pane. You can add the associated trend lines to the scatter plots by checking Show linear trend in the Chart Properties pane. A scatter plot is created for every pairwise combination of variables selected.Ī regression equation is calculated for every scatter plot in the matrix. Scatter plot matrix is made up of three or more Numeric fields. Each scatter plot in the matrix visualizes the relationship between a pair of variables, allowing many relationships to be explored in one chart. A scatter plot matrix is a grid (or matrix) of scatter plots used to visualize bivariate relationships between combinations of variables.
