50G / simultaneous multiple scatter plots + intersection of linear regression lines

I have a real specific problem with scatter plots and linear regression lines.
First, I've been looking over the manual and the internet trying to figure out how to graph multiple scatter plots at the same time, but it seems like you can only do Columns 1 and 2 or Columns 1 and 3, etc., from Edat (greek letter), you can't do all three columns at once IF Column 1 represents X and 2 and 3 represent Y-values.  Or columns 1 & 2 as one set, and 3 & 4 as a second set. 
Further, because it doesn't seem to be able to do this, I can't get it to find the intersection of these two lines. I can get the x-intercept and y-intercept just fine but I don't need that. What I can do is do a linear regression on both sets of data to get an equation for a line, put it into an array, and use the solver on it, that does indeed work. But that's a whole lot of extra keypresses just to get an ordered pair. I have experience on TI and Casio calculators and they don't have this seeming limitation. 
Any suggestions?

  • I need to plot the Least Squares Regression Line (not just calculate it with the LINEST function).  How?

    I need to plot the Least Squares Regression Line (not just calculate its values with the LINEST function).  Can anyone advise me on how to graph this line?

      Grapher.app in OS X Utilities is excellent for that : entering data from Numbers Excel etc. into a Grapher "Point Set", plotting all your data, computing and plotting a regression curve linear or exponential or polynomial.
      Unfortunately there is not a single word about point sets and regression in the Grapher Help.
    So, suggest you download (free) "Instruction for Use - Grapher on web site
    http://y.barois.free.fr/grapher/Documentation.html
    and go to page 31 to 37, "Initiation > Lesson 6 : Treating a point set (Regression curve), and also page 68, "Appendix 1. Points sets : from speadsheets to Grapher".
      If you try Grapher's regression curves, please tell us about the manual above : useful or not, too easy or difficult, readable or not etc.
      Thank you.

  • How to create a linear regression line series

    I am relatively new to Flex and I am currently working with charts in the data visualization components. It has been requested that I add a linear trendline (ie, linear regression trend line) to a column chart. From what I can tell, there is no linear regression form for the mx:LineSeries. Has anyone created a linear trendline using the data visualization components in Flex, or does anyone have any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

    Nicholas @ Bime posted a solution to this sort of problem earlier this year, apparently. He created a custom component that extends the CartesianDataCanvas, and can be called as an annotation element of the chart. See the following url: http://bimehq.com/data-visualization/introducing-flex-charting-trend-line-component/
    His solution works very well, with the only caveat being if you have mutiple series on your chart, all the trendlines will be the same color, and there is no label on the lines to show which line corresponds to which series.

  • How can I make a graphic (scatter chart) with 1 "y", but multiple "x" (to make a multiple linear regression)?

    how can I make a graphic (scatter chart) with 1 "y", but multiple "x" (to make a multiple linear regression)?

    Émilie,
    The default for X-Y Charts is for X values not to be shared, so it's entirely possible for you to create X-Y pair sets that have common Y-values and independent X-values.
    This answer assumes, as always, that I properly interpreted your problem statement. A linear fit line for each pair set should satisfy.

  • Scatter Plot With Multiple Data Series

    Hello,
    I would greatly appreciate any help you guys could give me.
    I need one scatter plot that shows 4 different groups of data. They all go with the same X and Y axis values, though.
    I can get a scatter graph with ONE group, but it won't let me add in another one. I tried the clicking and dragging the new cells, and the shift clicking, but the data just will not go into the chart. It's like it doesn't recognize it.
    I think I read something about sharing the X values? But I don't know how to do that?
    Thanks a ton in advance!!

    Pop,
    Badunit's example is one possible arrangement that you might have described; that is, one column for X values and several columns for Y values. This is the case when you should respond that you are sharing X-values. With all the data in one table, you can select it all at once, so you don't have the problem with dragging additional series into the chart.
    The Numbers User Guide PDF's first chapter is the place to start getting your bearings - you will learn how to distinguish Header vs. Body rows and columns. It's worth the effort to take another look at it.
    Since you are using a Scatter Chart, it's important not to use a header column for X because X values must be Numeric, as opposed to Text.

  • Trendline in Scatter plot

    Hi,
    I have a couple question on Power View 2010
    1. I want to know if I can plot regression Trendlines(Linear/polynomial/power) on scatter plot?
    2. Navigation between pages- Is it possible to navigate between report pages in Power View 2010 by passing parameters from the first page to the next page?
    3. I have a report that has 3 pages. I want to create 2 pages in SSRS 2012 and one in Power View 2010. Is it possible to navigate between these applications and also pass parameters in the URL?
    Thanks in advance.

    The reason why it hangs is because you have 2 event structures inside a loop. You should only have one event structure in a loop. This is documented in the LabVIEW Help. With 2 event structures one of them will block the other.
    Your code is also about 3 times larger than it needs to be:
    To create the array of names for the dropdowns you only need to autoindex a for-loop from the 2D array of data and use the Format Into String function.  You don't actually need to use the values - you only need to autoindex the for-loop.
    Using Delete From Array and Reshape Array just to pull out a row is simply silly (not to mention a Rube Goldberg). That's what Index Array is for.
    In the Cursor Move event case you only need one function: Index Array. The point index is already available to you from the event case's data.
    Half of the code really belongs outside of the while loop since none of that data ever changes, so what's the point of regenerating it each time?
    Instead of using 2 Index Array functions just to get the list of names, wire a True to the Read From Spreadsheet File's transpose? input and use the first row output.
    I've attached a simplified version of your VI.

    Hello,
    I need help with a scatter plot ...
    I have 3 columns of datas (column A, B and C).

  • How to I insert a line of best fit on a scatter plot????

    I have data already organized in tables, and I created a scatter plot. NOw I need to insert a line of best fit and get the equation. How do I do this??? I already calculated a and b (for y=a+bx) but I have no idea how to insert it on the plot. Every search tells me to "insert a trendline"..... but numbers doesnt have that function. Help please???

    Open inspector
    Go to chart tab
    Series
    Click on the "Advanced" to reveal the menu
    Trendline
    Choose the desired trendline (linear etc)
    Hope this helps.

  • Polynomial fitting for scatter plot

    Hi all, 
    I was wondering if there is any way to generate a polynomial fit to a scatter plot just like in excel. The data I am trying to fit has several y values for each x value. 
    Thanks
    Krish
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well, my "solution" above is a bit misleading, because the polynomial fit of course does NOT depend on the x ordering. If the x-values are scranbled as in your case, a maybe better solution would be to simply create a linear x-ramp over the data range and use polynomial evaluation to calculate a smooth best fit line. This has also the advantage tha a smooth curve is generated even if the data points are sometimes far apart.
    Here is one possible modification to show the technique.

  • Axis scale for scatter plots

    I'm trying to create a specialized scatter plot, which functions similar to Excel's scatter plot. I'm having problems determining what the min and max values should be for the axes. I would like the program to determine from the input data what the initial min and max values should be on the x- and y-axis, the user can adjust later.
    So, I don't want the program to just look at the maximum value imported and round up. For instance, data = {523.7, 514.4, 271.8, 128.5}. The max value is 523.7, round up to 524. Instead, I would like to program to make 600 the largest value on the axis, because that makes it nice round number for the user to view the dataset.
    Then, I thought it really depends on the range of the data. For instance, data = {523.4, 523.8, 523.2, 522.8, 523.9}. Here, the range is very small, so it doesn't make sense to have 600 the largest value on the scale. The largest value should be 524 or 525, and the small value on the axis scale should be 521 or 522.
    Has anyone else ever worked with this problem, or have a good solution? I would really appreciate it, I've spend way too many days working on this.
    Thank you,
    Joe

    This is off the top of my head and based on a slight variation of your data.
    data: 52.34, 52.38, 52.32, 52.28, 52.39
    min=52.28 max=52.39 range=0.11
    Looking at the range we see it is "on the order of" 0.1. Ie, it is closer to the next lower power of 10 (0.1) than it is to the next higher one (1.0). So we round min down to the next lowest multiple of 0.1 (52.2) and round max up (52.4). 52.2 and 52.4 can serve as the nice numbers.
    The range is just a little bigger than a power of 10, so it might be a good idea to check what happens when it's a little less.
    data: 135 226 141 143 etc
    min=135 max=226 range=91
    range is on the order of 100, and the nice numbers are 100 and 300.
    As a variation on this strategy if we always find the power of 10 below the range (10 in the second example) we get a tighter fit but the numbers are slightly less nice - 130 and 220.
    (I'm pretty sure I've seen - and used! - some java software from the Internet somewhere to find the best scale for axes, so it might pay to look around)
    Had to edit my second example and, while I was waiting, found what I have used for this sort of thing: http://geosoft.no/software/index.html (The NiceNumbers class - it finds numbers along a range suitable for major and minor "ticks" but, if memory serves me correctly it extends the range so that the ends are nice too.)

  • How do you make a horizontal average line in a scatter plot?

    In any version of Numbers, is there a way to make a horizontal average trendline?  Not a "moving average", but one line that is the average that goes through the data points on a scatter plot.

    hit a few roadblocks. 
    I tried:
    1. using the crop tool to make the canvas bigger with a transparent background.
    2. Used lasso tool over people in group shot (total of 5) and saved the selection
    3. Tried content aware scale to raise the image, but it keeps stretching out the people. 
    Any thoughts on what else I could try?
    Rather than trying to stretch it taller, try to squeeze it horizontally.  There are methods for telling it what to protect in the image if it gets touchy.
    Another possibility is to use Content Aware Fill to make up part at the top and bottom, without any stretching.

  • Why won't my data appear on my scatter plot graph in numbers?

    I'm making a scatter plot graph and I'm dealing with very small numbers on my x-axis, such as 0.0004 and 0.184 on my y-axis. Every time I plot the scatter plot graph, nothing appears on the graph. Can anyone please help me? Thanks.

  • How to select all (dots) in a scatter plot matrix?

    I have a scatter plot matrix, and I'm manually changing the color of each trend line, which probably isn't the best way but it's an easy but time consuming way to do it. I can't feasibly change the color/stroke of every single scatter plot dot in every single scatter plot graph of the matrix. I'm trying various Select --> Same or Select --> All but it keeps trying to change everything, from the line to the border to the dots. I am not sure if I can group the dots and select all or something. Is there a way to select all of the dots and just the dots?

    I feel like I should have posted screenshots of my graphs for all of my questions. In any event I've been manually changing the colors of the lines and the dots (see the few graphs on the left, I highlighted the inside of the graph and changed the dots and the line and then just manually changed the line back)

  • Highlighting a single data point in a scatter plot - Numbers'09

    Is there a way to highlight a single data point on a scatter plot in Numbers'09 (or point to it using a line from each respective coordinate on the x & y axis).
    I don't think it matters but the data point i am looking to highlight is the [highest y value/2]... and of course its respective x coordinate once you plug the y value into the equation ( y = f(x) ) and solve for x.

    Here is my own tip :
    As you see, I use two sets of values.
    In the second one I define only the yValue of the data point which must be "highlighted".

  • Swap X and Y in a Scatter Plot

    Seems like this should have a simple answer. I have a table of data, and I'd like to generate a scatter plot of two columns. The plot comes out fine, but I want to "swap" the X and Y axis in the resulting chart.
    Is there a simple way to do this? I can't find anything in the chart popup-menu, the inspector, or the application menus.
    Cheers
    Mike

    Michael,
    This is a user to user forum, and I'll admit that I don't have a great grip on Numbers Charts, so I may be missing something myself. However, I don't know of an easy way to swap the axes either. What I would do is to create an auxiliary column that repeats the X data in a column just to the right of the Y data. Then I would create a new chart that plots the second and third columns, effectively reversing the axes. The third column can be hidden. Of course you could also just reverse your x and y columns before plotting, but that might be more disruptive to your overall table organization.
    Jerry
    Update:
    I believe that, after some experimentation, I have a better method for you. Highlight the X Range only and create a Scatter Chart. The Chart will be blank since you have not yet supplied a Y range. Then highlight your Y range and drag it to the blank chart. A new Y series will be inserted.
    Hope this works for you.
