NE IOWA/ SE SD | A Scattergraph is simply a graph of data in two variables. Wherever data in two variables are expected to exhibit a relationship that can be represented by a known equation, scatter plots have long been used for statistical analysis of data observations. The equation is plotted, and observed values are plotted along with it. Then, by testing the observations against the line of the equation, the analyst may distinguish between reliable and suspicious data. This “quality control” purpose was the initial application of scattergraphs for sewer flow monitoring data. | |
