::Free Statistics and Forecasting Software::

All rights reserved. The non-commercial (academic) use of this software is free of charge. The only thing that is asked in return is to cite this software when results are used in publications.

This free online software (calculator) computes the following charts for a trivariate dataset: 3-dimensional scatterplots, all combinations of 2-by-2 scatterplots, histograms, bivariate density plots with the corresponding contour plots and regression line.

This software enables the user to visually explore the relationship between 3 variables. In addition it illustrates how 3-dimensional scatterplots are related to 2-dimensional scatterplot matrices and density plots.

Enter (or paste) your data delimited by hard returns.
