Box Plot with Outliers Example

This sample contains one high observation beyond the upper Tukey fence. Vizvero keeps the true maximum in the calculated statistics, stops the whisker at the most extreme non-outlier observation, and draws the potential outlier as a separate point.

How to structure the data

01Keep unusual observations in the raw data unless you have a documented reason to correct or exclude them.
02Vizvero calculates IQR as Q3 − Q1 and uses Q1 − 1.5×IQR and Q3 + 1.5×IQR as Tukey fences.
03The whiskers end at observed non-outlier values, not at the mathematical fence values themselves.

What this example shows

See how observations beyond Tukey 1.5×IQR fences are separated from the whiskers.

Modified box plot

A modified box plot commonly draws potential outliers separately and extends whiskers only to the most extreme non-outlier observations. Vizvero uses this Tukey-style convention.
