Join me on Oct 1 to learn about "Visualising High-dimensional data in R". I'll be teaching how this can be used with methods such as supervised classification, cluster analysis and non-linear dimension reduction.

The draw_boxplots() function in this post is similar in spirit to the plot_r() function from the 10-year-old post "What data patterns can lie behind a correlation coefficient?". Both allow you to create random Anscombe-like lineups that highlight the need for plotting your data. #rstats

New blog post: Different distributions, same boxplot: janhove.github.io/posts/2026-0... In which I share functions for generating markedly different distributions yielding identical boxplots. Overlaying the individual data points whenever possible can prevent many misinterpretations.
