Compare Multiple Variables

Use multiple-variable graphs to visualize the relationships and patterns between two or more variables. This section covers the following graphs:

Table 4.1 Multiple-Variable Graphs

Compare Multiple Variables Using Scatterplots

Compare two continuous variables with scatterplots.

Compare Multiple Variables Using a Scatterplot Matrix

Compare several pairs of continuous variables with scatterplot matrices.

Compare Multiple Variables Using Side-by-Side Box Plots

Compare one continuous and one categorical variable with side-by-side box plots.

Compare Multiple Variables Using a Variability Chart

Compare one continuous Y variable to one or more categorical X variables with variability charts. Variability charts show differences in means and variability across several categorical X variables.

Compare Multiple Variables Using Graph Builder

Create and change graphs interactively with Graph Builder.

Compare Multiple Variables Using Overlay Plots

Compare one or more variables on the Y-axis to another variable on the X-axis with overlay plots . Overlay plots are especially useful if the X variable is a time variable, because you can compare how two or more variables change across time.

Compare Multiple Variables Using Bubble Plots

Represent up to five variables at once with bubble plots. Bubble plots are specialized scatterplots that use color and bubble sizes for comparison. If one of your variables is a time variable, you can animate the plot to see your other variables change through time.
