Boxplots are a good descriptive measure to understand bivariate relationship between a continuous and a discrete variable. Understanding the actual data location is also informative. Jitter plots are especially useful when data points overlap. A beeswarm plot is also gaining popularity as it plots the data on a single axis and then offsets in the other direction to show volume or counts.

With shinyEA, you can:

  • Use any data set with a continuous (Y) and a discrete (X) variable
  • Further stratify based on a second discrete variable (X) variable

With shinyEA, you can:

  • Create boxplots
  • Create jitter plots superimposed on the boxplot
  • Create beeswarm plot superimposed on the boxplot
