Displaying Overlapping Points in Scatterplots
In a scatterplot, two or more individuals may have identical scores, causing their data points to overlap perfectly. Researchers can visually indicate this overlap by offsetting the points slightly along the -axis, printing the number of individuals in parentheses directly next to the point, or increasing the size or darkness of the point in proportion to the number of overlapping individuals.
