Abstract

This article was a proposal of a two-dimensional boxplot, an extension of the univariate Tukey boxplot. This graph consists of two convex polygons, which are oriented in the direction of an adjusted straight line, called “Tukey line.” The two-dimensional boxplot has an inner box, which contains 50% of the data; a point inside the box, called “median” and an external box, which separates the outliers. The two-dimensional boxplot represents location, extension, correlation, and asymmetry of data.
