A boxplot for circular data
Summary
The box‐and‐whiskers plot is an extraordinary graphical tool that provides a quick visual summary of an observed distribution. In spite of its many extensions, a really suitable boxplot to display circular data is not yet available. Thanks to its simplicity and strong visual impact, such a tool would be especially useful in all fields where circular measures arise: biometrics, astronomy, environmetrics, Earth sciences, to cite just a few. For this reason, in line with Tukey's original idea, a Tukey‐like circular boxplot is introduced. Several simulated and real datasets arising in biology are used to illustrate the proposed graphical tool.
