Box Plot/Mosaic Plot

Distribution Analyses

Box Plot/Mosaic Plot

The box plot is a stylized representation of the distribution of a variable, and it is shown in Figure 38.19. You can also display mosaic plots for nominal variables, as shown in Figure 38.37.

In a box plot, the sample mean and sample standard deviation computed with vardef=DF are used in the construction of the mean diamond, as shown in Figure 38.19.

If you select a Weight variable, a weighted box plot based on weighted quantiles is created. The weighted sample mean and the weighted sample standard deviation of an observation with average weight for vardef=DF is used in the construction of the mean diamond.
