Error Bars For Median
Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:27:12 +0000 Juan's interest in plotting medians with IQRs does sound to me like interest what do we call a picture or diagram of data? in box plots. In addition to -graph box-, check out -dotplot- and -stripplot- (SSC). Nick On Wed, Dec 28, 2011 at 7:57 AM, Lars Folkestad

statistical dispersion, being equal to the difference between the upper and lower quartiles,[1][2] IQR = Q3− Q1. In other words, the IQR is the 1st quartile subtracted http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2011-12/msg00898.html from the 3rd quartile; these quartiles can be clearly seen on a box plot on the data. It is a trimmed estimator, defined as the 25% trimmed range, and is the most significant basic robust measure of scale. The interquartile range (IQR) is a measure of variability, based on dividing a data set into quartiles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interquartile_range Quartiles divide a rank-ordered data set into four equal parts. The values that divide each part are called the first, second, and third quartiles; and they are denoted by Q1, Q2, and Q3, respectively.

The IQR is used to build box plots, simple graphical representations of a probability distribution. For a symmetric distribution (where the median equals the midhinge, the average of the first and third quartiles), half the IQR equals the median absolute deviation (MAD). The median is the corresponding measure of central tendency. The IQR can be used to identify outliers (see below). The quartile deviation or sem
significance? According to this article: http://bit.ly/Q3m8Ty researchers have a poor grasp on how error bars are related to significance. Is it possible to set the error bars to a https://www.researchgate.net/post/Why_dont_we_set_error_bars_so_they_correspond_to_significance multiple of SE where significance could be easily and accurately determined by visual inspection? https://plot.ly/~annabri128/19.embed If so, how? And if it is possible, then why isn't it standard practice?

Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google+ 0 / 0 Popular Answers Jochen Wilhelm · Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen First of all, there is no objective rule what error bars should mean or indicate. In the medical literature, most often error bars indicate standard errors. Not so much because they are thought to show uncertainty about the estimated model parameters but usually because they are smaller than the standard interquartile range error deviation (many authors - at least of those I know - think the errors would look to large otherwise...). If showing the variability of the data, stdandard deviations are more appropriate and especially instructive when the error model is gaussian. More generally and easier to interpret are the interquartile ranges, often used in box plots - but also applicable as error bars in bar charts (bar cahrts are often bad, anyway, but this is a different topic). Finally, the uncertainty about the estimates can be indicated by confidence intervals (or credible intervals). This should be favoured over showing the standard errors. Here you do have a relationship between a significance and the error bars. But this opens the question to the second problem: Significance of what? Often it is not possible to visualize the actually tested null hypothesis in the diagram, and in many cases where it would be possible, it is not done. For instance, if you have some groups (different treatments for example), your aim is to compare the mean responses M[i] between these groups (i=1...m). Providing confidence intervals as error bars would correlate to the null hypotheses M[i]=0. However, theses nulls are rarely sensible. Actually, the dif
