Scatter plot matrices
For a set of data variables (dimensions) X, X,…, X, the scatter plot matrix shows all the pairwise scatter plots of the variables on a single view with multiple scatterplots in a matrix format. For k variables, the scatterplot matrix will contain k rows and k columns. A plot located on the intersection of i th row and j th column is a plot of variables X versus X.1 This means that each row and column is one dimension, and each cell plots a scatter plot of two dimensions.
A generalized scatter plot matrix2 offers a range of displays of paired combinations of categorical and quantitative variables. A mosaic plot, fluctuation diagram, or faceted bar chart may be used to display two categorical variables. Other plots are used for one categorical and one quantitative variables.
