The 10 pages that link to Scatter plot, each with the reason it gives.
Data visualizationBroader topic: It exposes associations, clusters, and outliers between measurements.
CorrelationRelated: The plotted pattern reveals shape, outliers, and clusters that a single coefficient can hide.
Exploratory data analysisBroader topic: Scatter plots reveal association, clusters, curvature, and unusual pairs.
Graph of a functionCompared with: Data points can be compared with a function's graph as a model.
Line chartCompared with: Unlike a line chart, it does not automatically connect points or imply an ordered path.
Statistical graphicsBroader topic: It reveals association, clusters, and unusual observations between two measurements.
Correlation coefficientRelated: Its shape exposes nonlinear patterns and outliers that a single coefficient can conceal.
Heat mapCompared with: A scatter plot preserves individual observations that an aggregated heat map may hide.
Data and Information VisualizationBroader topic: Position encodes paired values, making association, clusters, and outliers visible.
Eyeball theoremBroader topic: It is a common display for judging whether two variables appear associated.
