SPSS Community News - the STATS BAGPLOT Extension Command

Jon K Peck
A new graphics extension command, STATS BAGPLOT, has been uploaded to the SPSS Community website.

This procedure produces a bagplot or, if there are more than two variables, a matrix of bagplots.  Bagplots are two-dimensional versions of the boxplot.  Instead of a box, the bagplot displays a convex polygon that contains half of the points (the bag) and a larger enclosing polygon, the loop, whose size is determined by a "fence" parameter.  Points outside the loop are considered to be outliers.


Split files mode is supported for this procedure.

This command requires the R Essentials and at least version 18 of Statistics. It can be downloaded from within Statistics using the Utilities menu in version 22. For older versions you can download it from the SPSS Community website (
www.ibm.com/developerworks/spssdevcentral) in the Extension Commands collection.
