Vertigo could be either from a peripheral (labyrinth and vestibular nerve) or a central disorder (central nervous system). Central vertigo is usually a result of an abnormal processing of the vestibular sensory input by the central nervous system. See the image below.
scatterhist(x,y) creates a 2-D scatter plot of the data in vectors x and y, and displays the marginal distributions of x and y as univariate histograms on the horizontal and vertical axes of the scatter plot, respectively. example.
A scatter plot can suggest various kinds of correlations between variables with a certain confidence interval. For example, weight and height, weight would be on y axis and height would be on the x axis. Correlations may be positive (rising), negative (falling), or null (uncorrelated).
