Scatterplot Matrix

Explore pairwise correlations between multiple numeric measures in a compact grid layout. Each cell shows a scatter plot of two measures, making it easy to spot linear relationships, clusters, and outliers across all variable pairs simultaneously.

Examples

When to Use

  • Exploring correlations between 3-6 numeric variables at once
  • Identifying which pairs of metrics are strongly related
  • Detecting clusters or outlier patterns in multi-dimensional data
  • Preliminary data exploration before building regression models

Tips & Best Practices

  • Bind 3-4 measures for a clear matrix -- more than 5 produces many small cells
  • Use the Category field to label points and the Group field for color coding
  • Look for diagonal patterns (correlation) and clusters in individual scatter cells
