Overplotting Techniques

What is Overplotting Techniques?

Overplotting happens when too many data points overlap on a plot, making it hard to see the true density or pattern, especially common with large datasets. Jittering adds small random noise to point positions to spread out overlapping points slightly. Transparency, adjusted through the alpha setting, lets overlapping points show through each other rather than fully obscuring one another.
