boxplots

[Genevieve Odoom]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to create box plots in SPSS that break up data by category and total?

 

For example, a graph showing 3 box plots for girls, boys and all (both boys and girls).

See the Examine/Explore procedure.  I believe something
like the following would work:

EXAMINE VARIABLES=measure BY gender /
PLOT=BOXPLOT/
ID=idnum.

Where measure is variable used in the boxplot, gender
is a grouping variable which produces a boxplot for each
level and the total group. Idnum is a unique case identifier
that is useful in identifying outliers/extreme values.  Might
need a little tweaking.

If you use the chart builder to generate boxplots, add a “Total” constant to the algebra. Here’s a simple example assuming that y is the summary variable and x is the categorical variable:

 

GGRAPH

  /GRAPHDATASET NAME="graphdataset" VARIABLES=x y MISSING=LISTWISE REPORTMISSING=NO

  /GRAPHSPEC SOURCE=INLINE.

BEGIN GPL

  SOURCE: s=userSource(id("graphdataset"))

  DATA: x=col(source(s), name("x"), unit.category())

  DATA: y=col(source(s), name("y"))

  DATA: id=col(source(s), name("$CASENUM"), unit.category())

  GUIDE: axis(dim(1), label("x"))

  GUIDE: axis(dim(2), label("y"))

  SCALE: linear(dim(2), include(0))

  ELEMENT: schema(position(bin.quantile.letter((x*y)+("Total"*y))), label(id))

END GPL.

 

If you put the (“Total”*y) first, the total will be the first boxplot in the chart.
