--scatterplot

Switch

--scatterplot

Description

Creates a scatter plot for each pair of given variables.

Argument and Default Value

None

Details

If no feature table is given then a scatter plot is created for each pair of variables listed in --outcomes.

If a feature table is given then a scatter plot is created for every pair of variables (feat, outcome), where feat is specified by --feat_names and outcome is specified by --outcomes.

Known issue: as of this writing, the code behind this switch checks args.hist2d inside its loop, but the --hist2d flag's registration is commented out in dlatkInterface.py so hist2d is never set on args. Running --scatterplot currently always fails with AttributeError: 'Namespace' object has no attribute 'hist2d'.

Other Switches

Required Switches:

• --outcomes, --outcome_table

Optional Switches:

• -f, --feat_names

Example Commands

Not usable as of this writing — see Known issue above. If it's fixed, the syntax (using the packaged dla_tutorial dataset, see Differential Language Analysis (DLA) Tutorial) would be:

dlatkInterface.py -d dla_tutorial -t msgs -c user_id --outcome_table blog_outcomes --outcomes age gender --scatterplot
