Statistics (2D Histogram Plots)

Click the Statistics button on the Plot: Histogram tab of the Graph Options dialog box to display the Statistics dialog box. Note that this dialog box can also be displayed by clicking the OK button in the Add Legend dialog box. Use these options to include useful statistics in your graph by selecting the appropriate check boxes.

Plot

Although all of the options are the same for each plot, you can make changes to each plot independently of the other. Select here the plot to which you want to make changes. Note that this option is only available if the Statistics dialog box has been displayed via the Insert - Statistics menu (classic menus) or the Stats option on the Insert tab - Legend group (ribbon bar).

Shapiro Wilk Test

Select the Shapiro Wilk Test check box to include the Shapiro-Wilk W statistics for normality and its associated p-value in the plot.

Descriptive statistics

Select the Descriptive statistics check box to include a variety of descriptive statistics including the total count, mean, and standard deviation, as well as the minimum and maximum values in the plot.

Total Count

Select the Total Count check box to include the total count or number of cases used in creating the histogram in the plot.

Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test

Select the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test check box to include the Kolmogorov-Smirnov d statistics (for normality), its associated p-value, and the Lilliefors statistic in the plot.

Note: When you select statistic(s) to include in the plot, the Add Legend dialog box will also be displayed, which is used to select where and how to attach the statistic(s) to the plot.

Value Format

Use the Value Format group box to select from a variety of number formats to use for the numeric values including General, Number, Date, Time, Scientific, Currency, Percentage, Fraction or Custom. Most of the options in this list have more than one representation, except the General and Percentage options. Some options also allow you to specify decimal information.
