Box Plot

Building a Model with Elementary Components

Box Plot

The Box Plot shows the minimum, maximum, and quartiles of the attribute that it is monitoring. This attribute can be named in a bucket that is dropped on the box plot or can be one of the states of a component that is dropped on the box plot. If a bucket is dropped on the box plot then the bin controls for the box plot are those of the bucket. If a component is dropped on the box plot then there is a hidden bucket associated with the box plot and the bin controls are associated with the box plot and are accessible from the box plot control panel.

Figure 2.16: A Box Plot Control Panel

The box plot control panel has buttons to enable or disable automatic scaling; refresh the plot; raise the local bin controls; and to specify auxiliary controls. The latter two buttons apply if you drop a component on a box plot.

You can also drop box plots onto other box plots. This enables you to collect statistics on the minimum, maximum, and quartiles of the attribute. It is a type of batch means.
