Scatterplot Matrix

The Scatterplot Matrix section of the Marker Relatedness report shows the histogram (and correlation plots when estimating epistasis) in which you can easily visualize the range estimates of relationship. A histogram that is skewed to the right (high values) indicates that most individuals have strong genetic similarity. A histogram that is skewed to the left (low values) indicates that most individuals have weak genetic similarity. See “Compare Multiple Variables by Using Scatterplots” in Discovering JMP.
