Use multiple-variable graphs to visualize the relationships and patterns between two or more variables. This section covers the following graphs:
Compare two continuous variables with scatterplots. |
|
Compare several pairs of continuous variables with scatterplot matrices. |
|
Compare one continuous and one categorical variable with side-by-side box plots. |
|
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. |
|
Create and change graphs interactively with Graph Builder. |
|
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. |
|
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. |
