k Confi guring the Frequency Setting

The frequency is a value that specifi es how many times each of the statistical data items is
repeated. A value of 1 is the initial default for this setting. With this setting, each data item (

x

)

or data pair (

x

,

y

) is represented as one point on the graph.

In cases where there is a large amount of data, however, plotting one point per data item (

x

)

or data pair (

x

,

y

) can cause the graph to become cluttered and diffi cult to read. If this

happens, you can specify a frequency value for each data item, which will reduce the number
of plots of very frequent data items and make the graph easier to read.
