Outlier

A chart word, with the charts that use it.

Definition

An outlier is a value far from the rest, drawn on its own so it is not hidden. It can be an error or the most important point on the chart.

Common mistakes

Deleting outliers to tidy the chart

Check them first: they may be the story.

Letting one outlier set the scale

One huge value squashes the rest. Fit the axis to the bulk and mark the outlier.

Questions

How is an outlier defined in a box plot?

Usually a value more than 1.5 times the box's height beyond the box.

Should outliers be labelled?

Yes, when people will ask what they are.

In the kit

Box plot, scatter and the other types.

In Figma and React, in four sizes, light and dark. Pay once, every update.
