Box Plot from Scientific Research

The observed TC cluster frequency change (yellow histogram) and the changes simulated by probabilistic modelling (box plots) between 1979–2001 and 2002–2024 (the latter minus the former) in the WNP. Contributions from changes in TC climatology (‘All’) and individual parameters (‘Fre.’ denotes TC frequency; ‘Life.’ denotes TC lifespan; ‘Time’ denotes TC genesis time; and ‘L+T’ is the combinations of TC lifespan and genesis time) are simulated by varying the given parameter(s) while keeping the other(s) fixed ( Methods ). The box plots show the averages of every 1,000 Monte Carlo simulations (in total, 100 averages). The box spans from the first quartile to the third quartile of the data, with a line marking the median. The whiskers represent the range from the 5th to the 95th percentile of the data. Asterisks indicate that the mean value is significantly different from zero at the 95% confidence level based on the 1,000-sample bootstrapping.
