How to Draw a Scatter Diagram

Use this scatter plot template to show values for two variables for your data series in ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"A scatter plot, scatterplot, or scattergraph is a type of mathematical diagram using 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. This kind of plot is also called a scatter chart, scattergram, scatter diagram, or scatter graph." [Scatter plot. Wikipedia]
The chart template "Scatter graph" is included in the Basic Scatter Diagrams solution from the Graphs and Charts area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

This scatter graphs (scattergraph. scatter chart, scatter plot, scatterplot, scatter diagram) sample show how the scatter plot with missing categories on the left,
the growth appears to be more linear with less variation. It was designed on the base of the Wikimedia Commons files: Scatter Plot with missing categories.svg [commons.wikimedia.org/ wiki/ File:Scatter_ Plot_ with_ missing_ categories.svg], and A scatter plot without missing categories.svg [commons.wikimedia.org/ wiki/ File:A_ scatter_ plot_ without_ missing_ categories.svg].

"In statistics, a misleading graph, also known as a distorted graph, is a graph that misrepresents data, constituting a misuse of statistics and with the result that an incorrect conclusion may be derived from it.
Graphs may be misleading through being excessively complex or poorly constructed. Even when constructed to accurately display the characteristics of their data, graphs can be subject to different interpretation. ...
Graphs created with omitted data remove information from which to base a conclusion. ...
In financial reports, negative returns or data that do not correlate a positive outlook may be excluded to create a more favorable visual impression." [Misleading graph. Wikipedia]

"A scatter plot, scatterplot, or scattergraph is a type of mathematical diagram using Cartesian coordinates to display values for typically two variables for a set of data. If the points are color-coded you can increase the number of displayed variables to three.
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. This kind of plot is also called a scatter chart, scattergram, scatter diagram, or scatter graph. ...
The scatter diagram is one of the seven basic tools of quality control." [Scatter plot. Wikipedia]

This scatter graph (scattergraph. scatter chart, scatter plot, scatterplot, scatter diagram) example visualizes exponent function.
"Exponentiation is a mathematical operation, written as bn, involving two numbers, the base b and the exponent (or power) n. When n is a positive integer, exponentiation corresponds to repeated multiplication; in other words, a product of n factors, each of which is equal to b (the product itself can also be called power)...
Exponentiation is used pervasively in many other fields, including economics, biology, chemistry, physics, as well as computer science, with applications such as compound interest, population growth, chemical reaction kinetics, wave behavior, and public-key cryptography. ...
Graphs of y = bx... Each curve passes through the point (0, 1) because any nonzero number raised to the power of 0 is 1. At x = 1, the value of y equals the base because any number raised to the power of 1 is the number itself." [Wikipedia. Exponentiation]

This scatter plot sample is used to illustrate the k-medoid clustering algorithm.
"The k-medoids algorithm is a clustering algorithm related to the k-means algorithm and the medoidshift algorithm. Both the k-means and k-medoids algorithms are partitional (breaking the dataset up into groups) and both attempt to minimize the distance between points labeled to be in a cluster and a point designated as the center of that cluster."
