Description
Summary:This work introduces readers to boxplots. Boxplots are a useful way of exploring continuous data, especially as a preliminary step before more sophisticated analyses. Boxplots, or, as they are sometimes called, box-whisker diagrams, allow the researcher to better understand the distribution of his or her variables either independently or across groups. As you will also learn, boxplots are an excellent method for identifying outlying cases within the data. To demonstrate this technique, we draw upon a subset of data from the UK Living Cost and Food Survey (LCFS). We assess how a person's weekly household income is distributed across three categories determining their residential tenure: (i) those in public rented accommodation; (ii) those who rent privately; and (iii) those who own their home.
