In this article, we review two, intertwined tools in the data mining arsenal: correlation and scatter plots. These tools are fundamental for gauging the relationship (if any) between pairs of data elements (say, the age and income of your customers).

My goal is to help you avoid the usual pitfalls, so you can use correlation and scatter plots effectively…
