Many times when using a scatterplot that contains a high density of points, it is difficult to fully understand the data since some points are obscured by other points. Furthermore, there are many cases where the density of points needs to be understood, but this type of analysis cannot always be accomplished with normal scatterplot techniques. To facilitate solutions to both of these problems, it is possible in STATISTICA 10 to control point transparency in a scatterplot. This example illustrates creating a scatterplot with transparent points in STATISTICA.

I was on the drive to work this morning and thought “I want to make a bubble plot!” However, I did not know what information I wanted to show in my bubble plot. I’ve seen Hans Rosling present quite a few bubble charts, so using some kind of country data or US State data seemed like a natural choice. Then I remembered several news stories I heard or read early this morning.  Food prices are rising. My state of Oklahoma is “on pace to lead the nation in obesity”. And apparently a study suggests that prominently posting calorie...
