User:PeterLFlomPhD/Dynamite plot sandbox

A dynamite plot is a variation on a bar plot in which lines and whiskers are added to indicate either the standard deviation, the standard error, a confidence interval or some other measure of dispersion. Sometimes the lines go only upward from the bar, other times they go in both directions. Dynamite plots are not a standard statistical graphic - they are not mentioned in Cleveland's books [1], [2] nor in Everitt's Dictionary of Statistics. [3] but they are commonly used [4]

Uses

Critiques

Dynamite plots have been critiqued for

  1. Providing too little information, [4] scoring low on Edward Tufte's data-ink ratio.
  2. Not showing sample sizes [4]
  3. Not showing the data [4] not following Cleveland's rule to show the data. [1]: 29 

Alternatives

Recommended alternatives depend on the sample size, both overall and in each bar.

When N is small

When N is large

Implementation

  1. Implementation in R
  2. Implementation in SAS
