The following statements use the flight delay data of Example 18.1 to illustrate how to create side-by-side box-and-whisker plots with notches: title 'Analysis of Airline Departure Delays'; title2 ...

When data is presented as a list of numbers, it can be difficult to interpret. If it is summarised in a diagram it is easier to draw conclusions and to compare with a different data set. A box plot is ...

The Gaussian form chosen for the variogram in the "Getting Started" section is based on the consideration of the plots of the sample variogram. For the coal thickness data, the Gaussian form appears ...

Examined here were the accuracy and bias of estimates of whisker length based on box, line, and midgap plots. For each type of graph, a different sample of undergraduates viewed 48 single-plot graphs.
