Two methods are presented below to create a boxplot without whiskers in the R GGplot2 package. The first method is used when the boxplot is generated directly from individual data points, and the second method is used when the boxplot is generated from summary statistics (e.g., median, Q1, Q3, min, and max). Method 1 In…
A boxplot is usually created from a continuous variable in a data frame. This is the preferred approach because it allows us to plot the outlying values separately on the graph. But sometimes the dataset is not available and all we have to work with is the five summary statistics: minimum, first quartile, median, quartile,…
A boxplot (also known as box and whisker plot) shows the distribution of a continuous variable. It is a robust equivalent of the mean and standard deviation. The boxplot uses 5 summary statistics: minimum, Q1, median, Q2 and maximum, to provide a better impression of the distribution of a continuous variable. It also has the…
