Binned Scatterplot

You can graph the x and y-variables as individual pairs or you can graph every combination of the x-y variables. The y-variable is the variable that you want to explain or predict. The x-variable is a corresponding variable that might explain or predict changes in the y-variable. All columns must be numeric, and each x-y variable pair must have the same number of rows.

First, choose one of the following options.

Each Y versus each X

Select to display a separate graph for each possible combination of x and y-variables that you enter.

XY Pairs

Select to display a separate graph for each pair of x and y-variables that you enter.

Then, enter the variables.

Y variables

Select the variables that you want to explain or predict.

X variables

Select the variables that might explain or predict the changes in the Y variables.

Select the color scale for the bins.

Diverging

Bins with high values are red, and bins with low values are blue. In Gradient symmetric around value, enter a value to center the gradient scale at a specific value rather than the center of the frequency of the binned data.

Sequential from low to high

Bins with high values are dark blue, and bins with low values are light blue and light gray. You can use this option to highlight bins with more productivity or to maximize revenue.

Sequential from high to low

Bins with low values are dark blue, and bins with high values are light blue and light gray. You can use this option to highlight bins with low defect rates or to minimize cost.

Use the same scale across multiple graphs. These options are available only when you enter more than one pair of columns in X variables and Y variables and the layout is set to display separate graphs for each XY pair.

Same Y-scale

Use the same Y-scale across all graphs.

Same X-scale

Use the same X-scale across all graphs.

Same gradient scale

Use the same color gradient scale across all graphs. For the same pair of x y-variables, the gradient scale will always be the same.
