  2. Box plot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot

    Figure 2. Box-plot with whiskers from minimum to maximum Figure 3. Same box-plot with whiskers drawn within the 1.5 IQR value. A boxplot is a standardized way of displaying the dataset based on the five-number summary: the minimum, the maximum, the sample median, and the first and third quartiles.

  3. Interquartile range - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interquartile_range

    Box-and-whisker plot with four mild outliers and one extreme outlier. In this chart, outliers are defined as mild above Q3 + 1.5 IQR and extreme above Q3 + 3 IQR. The interquartile range is often used to find outliers in data. Outliers here are defined as observations that fall below Q1 − 1.5 IQR or above Q3 + 1.5 IQR.

  4. Sample maximum and minimum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_maximum_and_minimum

    The sample maximum and minimum are the least robust statistics: they are maximally sensitive to outliers.. This can either be an advantage or a drawback: if extreme values are real (not measurement errors), and of real consequence, as in applications of extreme value theory such as building dikes or financial loss, then outliers (as reflected in sample extrema) are important.

  5. Outlier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlier

    The modified Thompson Tau test is used to find one outlier at a time (largest value of δ is removed if it is an outlier). Meaning, if a data point is found to be an outlier, it is removed from the data set and the test is applied again with a new average and rejection region. This process is continued until no outliers remain in a data set.

  6. Five-number summary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-number_summary

    This example calculates the five-number summary for the following set of observations: 0, 0, 1, 2, 63, 61, 27, 13. These are the number of moons of each planet in the Solar System . It helps to put the observations in ascending order: 0, 0, 1, 2, 13, 27, 61, 63.

  7. Data and information visualization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_and_information...

    Box and whisker plot: Box and Whisker Plot: x axis; y axis; A method for graphically depicting groups of numerical data through their quartiles. Box plots may also have lines extending from the boxes (whiskers) indicating variability outside the upper and lower quartiles. Outliers may be plotted as individual points.

  8. Summary statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summary_statistics

    Box plot of the Michelson–Morley experiment, showing several summary statistics. In descriptive statistics, summary statistics are used to summarize a set of observations, in order to communicate the largest amount of information as simply as possible. Statisticians commonly try to describe the observations in

  9. Quartile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartile

    The fences are sometimes also referred to as "whiskers" while the entire plot visual is called a "box-and-whisker" plot. When spotting an outlier in the data set by calculating the interquartile ranges and boxplot features, it might be easy to mistakenly view it as evidence that the population is non-normal or that the sample is contaminated.
