Scatterplot, scatter chart or scatter diagram
Use our free tool to create your Scatterplot or scatter chart or scatter diagram! You can use it for Linear Correlation and Regression calculation!
A scatter graph or scatter diagram is a type of display that contains one or more
scatterplots each of which use Cartesian coordinates to display values for two variables
for a set of data.
The data is displayed as a collection of points, each having the value of one variable
determining the position on the horizontal axis and the value of the other variable determining
the position on the vertical axis.
A scatterplot can suggest various kinds of correlations between variables with a certain confidence level. Correlations may be positive (rising), negative (falling), or null (uncorrelated). If the pattern of dots slopes from lower left to upper right, it suggests a positive correlation between the variables being studied. If the pattern of dots slopes from upper left to lower right, it suggests a negative correlation. A line of best fit can be drawn in order to study the correlation between the variables. An equation for the correlation between the variables can be determined by established best-fit procedures. For a linear correlation, the best-fit procedure is known as linear regression and is guaranteed to generate a correct solution in a finite time. Unfortunately, no universal best-fit procedure is guaranteed to generate a correct solution for arbitrary relationships.
