Definition: "Dataplot" is a term in scientific measurement theory, referring to data as a function or pattern (a plot). It's used for analyzing real-world data where patterns are found that describe quantities like temperature, pressure, etc., from numerous measurements taken over time. A 'dataplot' is often used for comparing two different sets of data points, where the goal is to determine if there are any significant differences in the behavior or distribution of those data. This could involve a simple scatterplot or more complex graphs and statistical analysis techniques like regression lines or histograms.
