Description
Résumé:Boxplots are a useful and widely used graphical technique to explore data in order to better understand the information we are working with. Boxplots display the first, second and third quartile as well as the interquartile range and outliers of a data set. The information displayed by the boxplot, and most of its variations, is based on the data’s median. However, much of scientific applications analyse and report data using the mean. In this paper, we propose a variation of the classical boxplot that displays information around the mean. Some information about the median is displayed as well.
