Workspace Node: Frequency Tables - Results - Box-Whisker Type Tab

In the Frequency Tables node dialog box, under the Results heading, select the Box-Whisker Type tab to access the following options.

Options for Box-Whisker plots. Use the option buttons in this group box to specify which type of box-whisker plot to produce. These options apply to the Box & whisker plot for all variables on the Results - Descriptives tab.

Element Name Description
Median/Quartiles/Range This box plot describes the central tendency of the variable in terms of the median of the values (represented by the smallest box in the plot). The spread (variability) in the variable values is represented in this plot by the quartiles (the 25th and 75th percentiles, larger box in the plot) and the minimum and maximum values of the variable (the "whiskers" in the plot).
Mean/SE/SD Here, the smallest box in the plot represents the mean (central tendency) of the variable, while the dispersion (variability) is represented by ± 1 times the standard error (large box) and ± 1 times the standard deviation about the mean ("whiskers").
Mean/SD/1.96*SD. This plot will show the mean (small box in the plot) of the variable surrounded by a larger box (± 1 times the standard deviation). If the distribution is normal, then the "whiskers" in this plot represent a "95% confidence interval" defined as the variable mean ± 1.96 times the variable standard deviation.
Mean/SE/1.96*SE This plot will show the mean (small box in the plot) of the variable surrounded by a larger box. However, in this plot, the larger box represents ± 1 times the standard error. If the distribution is normal, the "whiskers" in this plot represent a "95% confidence interval" defined as the variable mean ± 1.96 times the variable standard error.
