Line Graph for Time Series

Bar Chart for Categorical Variable
95% of tracts do not border
Charles River
Excel can confuse:
y-axis is actually “% of
records that have a value
for CATMEDV” (i.e., “% of
all records”)

Scatterplot
Displays relationship between two
numerical variables

Distribution Plots
 Display “how many” of each value occur in a data
set
 Or, for continuous data or data with many possible
values, “how many” values are in each of a series of
ranges or “bins”

Histograms
Histogram shows the
distribution of the
outcome variable
(median house value)
Boston Housing example:

Boxplots
Boston Housing Example:
Display distribution of
outcome variable (MEDV)
for neighborhoods on
Charles river (1) and not
on Charles river (0)
Side-by-side boxplots are useful for comparing subgroups

Box Plot
 Top outliers defined as
those above
Q3+1.5(Q3-Q1).
 “max” = maximum of
non-outliers
 Analogous definitions
for bottom outliers and
for “min”
 Details may differ
across software
Median
Quartile 1
“max”
“min”
outliers
mean
Quartile 3

Multidimensional Visualization

NOX vs. LSTAT
Red = low median value
Blue = high median
value

Matrix Plot
Shows scatterplots

variables

Rescaling to log scale (on right)
“uncrowds” the data

Aggregation

Amtrak Ridership – Monthly Data

Aggregation – Monthly Average

Aggregation – Yearly Average

Scatter Plot with Labels (Utilities)

Scaling: Smaller markers, jittering, color contrast
(Universal Bank; red = accept loan)

Jittering
 Moving markers by a small random amount
 Uncrowds the data by allowing more markers to be
seen

Without jittering (for comparison)
