Box Plots: An Introduction to the Visual EDA Wonder
Abstract: A box plot, also known as a box-and-whisker plot, is a widely used statistical graphic that provides a concise summary of the distribution of numerical data. By displaying key descriptive measures such as the median, quartiles, interquartile range (IQR), minimum and maximum values, and potential outliers, box plots allow researchers to quickly understand the spread and central tendency of a dataset. They are especially useful when comparing distributions across multiple …
