Graph Descriptive statistics.

[KA MANCHA]

Hi Stata Users ,

I'm looking at the relationship between health outcomes of mother(Bmi. and hemoglobin level) and family size. If I graph the relationship I got the graphs below.
Is there any different way of graphing these so I see more of a relationship between 2 variable? Where both health outcomes and family size are continuous variable.


Also if dependent variable is an indicator variable how do I graph it with family size?

Thank you in advance !

You could use a histogram with by() or a dot plot. (dotplot) with over(). See also stripplot (SSC).

Another option is to change the opacity of the markers.

Here is an example that recreates your problem:

sysuse nlsw88, clear
twoway scatter wage grade, scheme(s1color)

Here is an example that uses opacity to alleviate it:

twoway scatter wage grade, scheme(s1color) mcolor(%10)
