Box Plot

Overview

Box Plot tab represents statistics such as the median of the data, the interquartile range (the range that seperates top 25% and bottom 25% of the data), the minimum value, and the maximum value. The elements of a box plot are described below.

• Box: a box that expresses the interquartile range centered on the median value of the data. The top of the box represents the top 75th percentile (upper quartile) and the bottom of the box represents the bottom 25th percentile (bottom quartile). The height of the box represents the interquartile range and 50% of the data fall within this range.
• Whisker: a line extending from the box, with the upper whisker extending beyond the upper 75th percentile and the lower whisker extending beyond the lower 25th percentile. The whiskers extend to the outer values of the data distribution. However, if it falls outside the range of values ​​defined as outliers, a line is drawn at the tip of the whiskers, and the outliers may be displayed beyond that.
• Outlier: a value that falls outside the range of the data. Outliers are values located beyond the ends of the whiskers. Outliers can indicate anomalies in the distribution of your data.
• Box-and-whisker plot can concisely represent summary statistics such as the median and interquartile range of data, and is useful for understanding the distribution of data and the presence or absence of outliers. Box plot is convenient as it is also used when comparing multiple datasets and helps visualize trends and variability in data.
