Hi there,
I was wondering if anybody can explain to me why the boxplot ends up
with different results in the following case:
I have some integer data as a vector and I compare the stats of boxplot
with the same data divided by a factor.
I've attached a csv file with both data present (d1, d2). The factor is
34.16667.
If I run the boxplot function on d1 I get the following stats:
0.848...
0.907...
0.936...
0.965...
1.024...
For d2 I get these stats:
29
31
32
33
36
If I convert the stats of d1 with the factor, I get
29
31
32
33
35
Obviously different for the upper whisker. But why???
