    I'm atm. watching your Statistic Fundamental Playlist and loved it so far, but this one I think was not really good. Would loved to see more about how the whiskers are defined, mild and extreme outliners. How the boxplot could give you ideas about distribution and maybe about how the IQR can be used to compare categorical data etc.

    This is really a great simple video to ensure students understand what they're analyzing.
    Suggestion: It may be worthwhile to discuss how the whiskers are actually calculated to help students understand that outliers are values that are "potentially" outliers and that their interpretation depends on the situation. That way, maybe they would be less tempted to just say "oh they're outliers, I don't care about those".
    In any case, thanks for another great video !

    • @alecvan7143
      @alecvan7143 4 года назад

      For example, in my course we calculate the step as h = 1.5 * (Q3 - Q1). But why ? What is the impact of calculating these whiskers in different ways ?
      Perhaps explaining the interquartile range (IQR), without really focusing in the IQR itself, would fit in well after explaining that 50% of the data is in the box. Then, maybe it could help students focus on the concept of data being within certain ranges and how data outside those ranges data may be suspicious.
      To explain the 1.5, it could help to mention the 68 95 99.7 rule and how it is an approximation of where data is situated. Similarly, 1.5 is an approximation of this so as to generally have 99% of data contained within the bounds.
      Concepts I got from notably [here](medium.com/mytake/why-1-5-in-iqr-method-of-outlier-detection-5d07fdc82097) and [here](www.cs.uni.edu/~campbell/stat/normfact.html).
      I see how your videos must become rabbit holes for you now 🤔

    • @statquest
      @statquest  4 года назад +2

      These are all excellent suggestions! Every video is a tradeoff between the main ideas and the details. This is why I often have one video that focuses on the "main ideas" and another video on the same topic that focuses on the details.

    • @CraigForbes1
      @CraigForbes1 5 лет назад +3

      He may have left it alone because it depends on who you ask. If there are no outliers, then it represents min + max of the data. If outlier(s) are present, then the values for Q1 - 1.5×IQR and Q3 + 1.5×IQR are the "fences" that mark off the "reasonable" values from the outlier values. Outliers lie outside the fences of the whiskers. (Josh, step in if you would like to define it more succinctly.) Great videos by the way.

    GREAT video!!!!!!!!! just a tiny question: many text books and teachers "ask" or more precisely "force" students to plot normal distributed data using bar plots. but i think boxplots present data bettter no matter the data is normal distributed or not. how do you see? and which do you choose?

    • @statquest

      Boxplots are so much better than barplots, especially when you can overlay them onto the raw data. They answer every question I have about the data.

    Josh, could you explain - what is meant by A, B, C? If those are categories of measurements, why the dots are scattered round them?

    • @statquest
      @statquest  Год назад

      A, B and C are just 3 different groups that we measured. For example, A = children, B = teenagers and C = adults. The dots are the raw data. For example, we might have measured how much time they spend on social media. The boxplots summarize these dots

      They can represent different things, depending on how the boxplot is configured. Generally speaking, however, they give you a sense of how much more variation in there is in the data beyond the box.

    How can boxplots be useful? What can we learn about a set of data from its boxplot?

    • @statquest
      @statquest  3 года назад +2

      I love box plots as a way to summarize large datasets. If you don't have much data, you can just plot the data and it's pretty easy to make sense of. But when there is a ton of data, you get lots of overlapping points and it's harder to make sense of it. That's where a boxplot comes in handy.
