Statistical graphicsStatistical graphics, also known as statistical graphical techniques, are graphics used in the field of statistics for data visualization. Whereas statistics and data analysis procedures generally yield their output in numeric or tabular form, graphical techniques allow such results to be displayed in some sort of pictorial form. They include plots such as scatter plots, histograms, probability plots, spaghetti plots, residual plots, box plots, block plots and biplots. Exploratory data analysis (EDA) relies heavily on such techniques.
Histogrammethumb|Exemple d'histogramme. Échantillon de 100 valeurs générées pour une distribution normale N(0,1). En statistique, un histogramme est une représentation graphique permettant de représenter la répartition empirique d'une variable aléatoire en la représentant avec des colonnes correspondant chacune à une classe. L’histogramme est un moyen rapide pour étudier la répartition d’une variable. Il peut être, en particulier utilisé en gestion de la qualité lorsque les données sont obtenues lors d’une fabrication.
TrimeanIn statistics the trimean (TM), or Tukey's trimean, is a measure of a probability distribution's location defined as a weighted average of the distribution's median and its two quartiles: This is equivalent to the average of the median and the midhinge: The foundations of the trimean were part of Arthur Bowley's teachings, and later popularized by statistician John Tukey in his 1977 book which has given its name to a set of techniques called exploratory data analysis.
