[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
[edit] Error? ==
"Histograms and probability density functions require assumptions of the statistical distribution." What about empirical histograms and pdf's? As far as I can see these do not require any a-priori assumptions on distributions?
[edit] Boxplot Figure
The current figure, Michelsonmorley-boxplot.svg, does not render correctly and could thus confuse readers. I suggest that we revert to the non-svg file R-speed_of_light_boxplot.png. Innohead 13:06, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
