Two-Dimensional Histograms

Two-dimensional (2D) histograms

A 2D histogram represents the distribution of data points in a bivariate context. It is created by dividing the 2D space into a grid of bins and counting the number of data points in each bin. This can be extremely useful as the size of the data increases because scatter points can overlap and become too clumped together. By getting a general sense of where our points lie, we can get a nicely simplified representation of our data.
