This interactive scatter plot explores factors contributing to forest fires, using data from 517 instances in Portugal's Montesinho park. It displays the burned area (in hectares) against various meteorological and spatial attributes, with dropdown menus allowing users to select which variables appear on the x-axis, y-axis, and color encoding. The visualization uses D3.js (v5) with SVG rendering and animated transitions, where points grow from the center over two seconds with a staggered delay. The chart leverages D3's `scaleLinear`, `axisBottom`, `axisLeft`, and `scaleOrdinal` APIs for axes and coloring, with a category-10 color scheme showing the categorical values for the selected color dimension.

Scatter Plot of Forest Fires Attributes

This dataset is from P. Cortez and A. Morais. A Data Mining Approach to Predict Forest Fires using Meteorological Data available at http://www.dsi.uminho.pt/~pcortez/fires.pdf and https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/forest+fires

The main question I try to answer in this dataset is what are the contributing factors to forest fires? Is there a specific time of the year and other combinations together, like extra heat or wind or even the day of the week in case they are cause by humans camping?

Number of Instances: 517

Number of Attributes: 12 + output attribute

X - x-axis spatial coordinate within the Montesinho park map: 1 to 9 Y - y-axis spatial coordinate within the Montesinho park map: 2 to 9 month - month of the year: "jan" to "dec" day - day of the week: "mon" to "sun" FFMC - FFMC index from the FWI system: 18.7 to 96.20 DMC - DMC index from the FWI system: 1.1 to 291.3 DC - DC index from the FWI system: 7.9 to 860.6 ISI - ISI index from the FWI system: 0.0 to 56.10 temp - temperature in Celsius degrees: 2.2 to 33.30 RH - relative humidity in %: 15.0 to 100 wind - wind speed in km/h: 0.40 to 9.40 rain - outside rain in mm/m2 : 0.0 to 6.4 area - the burned area of the forest (in ha): 0.00 to 1090.84
