8.8. Multivariate Plots

Multivariate plotting procedures are used to inspect and discover the relationships inherent within the matrix (multivariate) data.

The first two options (X-Y Matrix Plot and X-Y Rectangular Plot) will produce pairwise scatter plots of two or more variables, which are useful in visualising the column-wise characteristics of data. There are also eight plot types collected under Graph → Multivariate Plots → Icon Plots, which display the row-wise characteristics.
