It's finding the best straight line through the scatter plot.

In the scatter plot, a number of obvious patterns are already apparent.

The quantities from these two variables are often represented using a scatter plot.

If you're uncertain about correlation coefficient it's always worth doing a scatter plot.

A scatter plot is also very useful when we wish to see how two comparable data sets agree with each other.

The scatter plot suggests little, if any, association between male and female colorectal cancer incidence.

The relationship between temperature and ozone in this data set is apparently non-linear, based on the scatter plot.

A scatter plot can suggest various kinds of correlations between variables with a certain confidence interval.

These points are then plotted as the vertical and horizontal coordinates of a scatter plot.

The line is often used as a reference in a 2-dimensional scatter plot comparing two sets of data expected to be identical under ideal conditions.

Bubble charts can be considered a variation of the scatter plot, in which the data points are replaced with bubbles.

The gene expression means of the three individual mice were calculated and compared to pooled data in a scatter plot.

This can be represented as a scatter plot on a risk matrix, as shown in the diagram to the right.

It uses multiple scatter plots to represent a pairwise relation among variables.

This line attempts to display the non-random component of the association between the variables in a 2D scatter plot.

A scatter plot is used when a variable exists that is below the control of the experimenter.

The Scatter plot takes multiple scalar variables and uses them for different axes in phase space.

There were 84 operations, 28 of them full-time, but with relatively small working areas (all under 20 ha) and widely scattered plots of land.

For instance, one may consider a scatter plot of versus one or more of the predictors.

One of the most powerful aspects of a scatter plot, however, is its ability to show nonlinear relationships between variables.

Scatter plots comparing individual samples were created using Microsoft Excel .

For instance, Scatter plots require bivariate data.

Graphically review the results using pie charts, scatter plots, tornado graphs, etc.

By construction the slope of the line in the scatter plot is equivalent to the Moran's I coefficient.

The scatter plot looks pretty random.
