Figure 33.1 Running a User Analysis

The sample UserAnalysis module displays a simple dialog box that contains a list of analyses that you can run on the data. (See Figure 33.2.) The dialog box displays a list of two analyses.

Figure 33.2 Selecting from a List of Analyses

Select Create Plot Matrix and click OK.

The Create Plot Matrix analysis demonstrates one way to query information from the person who is running the analysis. In this case, the program prompts you to select several variables to plot. If you select variables from this list, the variables are plotted against each other in an lower-triangular array of plots of the pairwise combination of variables.

Hold down the CTRL key and select yr_major, cr_atbat, league, and division, as shown in Figure 33.3. Click OK.

Figure 33.3 Selecting Variables

These four variables are plotted in pairwise combinations, as shown in Figure 33.4. Three different plots are created. Mosaic plots display the relationship between pairs of nominal variables. Box plots are used to plot an interval variable against a nominal variable. Scatter plots display the relationship between pairs of interval variables. Windows along the diagonal display variable names and values of each axis.
