How Do You Fix Overplotting?

πŸ“ŠπŸ€”πŸ” Hey, friends! Today, we’re talking about overplotting. πŸ“ˆ Overplotting occurs when there are too many data points in a scatterplot, and the points overlap, making it difficult to see the overall pattern in the data. To address this issue, you can use several techniques, including adding transparency to the points, sampling the data, or […]

What is Covariation?

Hey, guys! Today, we’re going to talk about covariation. 🀝 So, what is covariation? πŸ€” Well, covariation is the tendency for values of two or more variables to change together. πŸ“Š For example, when you practice basketball every day, you’ll likely see an increase in your shooting percentage.
