Non-geographic data can be animated to facilitate visualization and understanding of multi-dimensional data structure. This animation looks at the concentration of NO2 due to car emissions (colored data cloud) as a function of 3 variables: number of cars per hour, air temperature 2 meters above the ground, and wind speed. The animation provides a more comprehensive look at the multivariate structure than can be easily gleaned from scatterplots and regression coefficients.
