arviz.plot_pair

arviz.plot_pair(data, group='posterior', var_names: Optional[List[str]] = None, filter_vars: Optional[str] = None, coords=None, marginals=False, figsize=None, textsize=None, kind: Union[str, List[str]] = 'scatter', gridsize='auto', contour: Optional[bool] = None, plot_kwargs=None, fill_last=False, divergences=False, colorbar=False, labeller=None, ax=None, divergences_kwargs=None, scatter_kwargs=None, kde_kwargs=None, hexbin_kwargs=None, backend=None, backend_kwargs=None, marginal_kwargs=None, point_estimate=None, point_estimate_kwargs=None, point_estimate_marker_kwargs=None, reference_values=None, reference_values_kwargs=None, show=None)[source]

Plot a scatter, kde and/or hexbin matrix with (optional) marginals on the diagonal.

Parameters
data: obj

Any object that can be converted to an arviz.InferenceData object. Refer to documentation of arviz.convert_to_dataset() for details

group: str, optional

Specifies which InferenceData group should be plotted. Defaults to ‘posterior’.

var_names: list of variable names, optional

Variables to be plotted, if None all variable are plotted. Prefix the variables by ~ when you want to exclude them from the plot.

filter_vars: {None, “like”, “regex”}, optional, default=None

If None (default), interpret var_names as the real variables names. If “like”, interpret var_names as substrings of the real variables names. If “regex”, interpret var_names as regular expressions on the real variables names. A la pandas.filter.

coords: mapping, optional

Coordinates of var_names to be plotted. Passed to xarray.Dataset.sel().

marginals: bool, optional

If True pairplot will include marginal distributions for every variable

figsize: figure size tuple

If None, size is (8 + numvars, 8 + numvars)

textsize: int

Text size for labels. If None it will be autoscaled based on figsize.

kindstr or List[str]

Type of plot to display (scatter, kde and/or hexbin)

gridsize: int or (int, int), optional

Only works for kind=hexbin. The number of hexagons in the x-direction. The corresponding number of hexagons in the y-direction is chosen such that the hexagons are approximately regular. Alternatively, gridsize can be a tuple with two elements specifying the number of hexagons in the x-direction and the y-direction.

contourbool, optional, deprecated, Defaults to True.

If True plot the 2D KDE using contours, otherwise plot a smooth 2D KDE. Defaults to True. Note: this default is implemented in the body of the code, not in argument processing.

fill_lastbool

If True fill the last contour of the 2D KDE plot. Defaults to True.

divergences: Boolean

If True divergences will be plotted in a different color, only if group is either ‘prior’ or ‘posterior’.

colorbar: bool

If True a colorbar will be included as part of the plot (Defaults to False). Only works when kind=hexbin

labellerlabeller instance, optional

Class providing the method make_label_vert to generate the labels in the plot. Read the Label guide for more details and usage examples.

ax: axes, optional

Matplotlib axes or bokeh figures.

divergences_kwargs: dicts, optional

Additional keywords passed to matplotlib.axes.Axes.scatter() for divergences

scatter_kwargs:

Additional keywords passed to matplotlib.axes.Axes.plot() when using scatter kind

kde_kwargs: dict, optional

Additional keywords passed to arviz.plot_kde() when using kde kind

hexbin_kwargs: dict, optional

Additional keywords passed to matplotlib.axes.Axes.hexbin() when using hexbin kind

backend: str, optional

Select plotting backend {“matplotlib”,”bokeh”}. Default “matplotlib”.

backend_kwargs: bool, optional

These are kwargs specific to the backend being used, passed to matplotlib.pyplot.subplots() or bokeh.plotting.figure().

marginal_kwargs: dict, optional

Additional keywords passed to arviz.plot_dist(), modifying the marginal distributions plotted in the diagonal.

point_estimate: str, optional

Select point estimate from ‘mean’, ‘mode’ or ‘median’. The point estimate will be plotted using a scatter marker and vertical/horizontal lines.

point_estimate_kwargs: dict, optional

Additional keywords passed to matplotlib.axes.Axes.axvline(), matplotlib.axes.Axes.axhline() (matplotlib) or bokeh.models.Span (bokeh)

point_estimate_marker_kwargs: dict, optional

Additional keywords passed to matplotlib.axes.Axes.scatter() or bokeh.plotting.Figure.square() in point estimate plot. Not available in bokeh

reference_values: dict, optional

Reference values for the plotted variables. The Reference values will be plotted using a scatter marker

reference_values_kwargs: dict, optional

Additional keywords passed to matplotlib.axes.Axes.plot() or bokeh.plotting.Figure.circle() in reference values plot

show: bool, optional

Call backend show function.

Returns
axes: matplotlib axes or bokeh figures

plot_joint
