Abstract: In this work we present a visualization tool specifically tailored to deal with skewed data. The technique is based upon the use of two types of notched boxplots (the usual one, and one which is tuned for the skewness of the data), the violin plot, the histogram and a nonparametric estimate of the density. The data is assumed to lie on the same line, so the plots are compatible. We show that a good deal of information can be extracted from the inspection of this tool; in particular, we apply the technique to analyze data from synthetic aperture radar images. We provide the implementation in R.

Recommendations

• An adjusted boxplot for skewed distributions
• A generalized boxplot for skewed and heavy-tailed distributions
• \(k\)-boxplots for mixture data
• Exploratory Data Analysis for Possibly Censored Data From Skewed Distributions
