A box plot displays robust statistical parameters: minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile, and maximum. These parameters are called robust, since they are not sensitive to extreme outliers.
The conditional box plot partitions the data of a numeric column into classes according to another nominal column and creates a box plot for each of the classes.
A box plot for one numerical attribute is constructed in the following way: The box itself goes from the lower quartile (Q1) to the upper quartile (Q3). The median is drawn as a horizontal bar inside the box. The distance between Q1 and Q3 is called the interquartile range (IQR). Above and below the box are the so-called whiskers. They are drawn at the minimum and the maximum value as horizontal bars and are connected with the box by a dotted line. The whiskers never exceed 1.5 * IQR. This means if there are some data points which exceed either Q1 - (1.5 * IQR) or Q3 + (1.5 * IQR) than the whiskers are drawn at the first value in these ranges and the data points are drawn separately as outliers. For the outliers the distinction between mild and extreme outliers is made. As mild outliers are those data points p considered for which holds: p < Q1 - (1.5 * IQR) AND p > Q1 - (3 * IQR) or p > Q3 + (1.5 * IQR) AND p < Q3 + (3 * IQR). In other words mild outliers are those data points which lay between 1.5 * IRQ and 3 * IRQ. Extreme outliers are those data points p for which holds: p < Q1 - (3 * IQR) or p > Q3 + (3 * IQR). Thus, three times the box width (IQR) marks the boundary between "mild" and "extreme" outliers. Mild outliers are painted as dots, while extreme outliers are displayed as crosses. In order to identify the outliers they can be selected and hilited. This provides a quick overview over extreme characteristics of a dataset.
If the available space is too small to display, all labels (smallest, Q1, median, Q3, largest) are not displayed and the missing information is provided as a tooltip.
HiLiting
The outlier points may be selected by either dragging a rectangle with the mouse over them or by clicking on them. Hold control pressed for multiple selections. The selected outliers may be hilited by either right-click to get the context menu or via the hilite menu in the menu bar. Important: If a row contains outliers in several columns all outliers of that row will be selected and hilited at once, since selection and hiliting are based on data points (rows)!
Tooltip
Move the mouse over the bars of the box to get the exact values for the displayed parameters or over the outliers to get information about the value and the RowID.
Properties
Default Settings:
- Mouse Mode: choose "Selection" to select outlier points or "Zooming" to zoom in. If you have zoomed in you may choose "Moving" to navigate in the zoomed display.
- "Fit to screen" fits the display again to the available space.
- "Background color lets you choose the background color of the display.
Column Selection: Choose the classes you want to inspect.
Appearance: Check "Normalize", if all columns should use the available height, uncheck it, if you want to map the boxes to one single y coordinate.
