Talk:Box plot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Question!

I have a question. In the data you use to make the diagram, if a number is repeated, how do you put that on the graph? I'm confused.

You don't put it itself in the graph. You use it to compute the median, box edges, and whiskers. Those quantities are the ones plotted. Baccyak4H (Yak!) 03:13, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion, revision

Hey folks, When I came across this page it was in need of some serious revision. There were grammatical errors and repeated information. I took the liberty of removing some of the repeated information and providing a detailed step-by-step construction of the boxplot.

[edit] More suggestions

Something on parallel boxplots would be nice. I am very new here, still feeling my way. I can try to do something, but it might be messy, html is not my forte Plf515 23:52, 26 November 2006 (UTC)plf515
