Box Plot from Scientific Research

Gap frequencies observed in BLS and other methods, averaged from sampled sub-alignments of 50 sequences. The box plot shows an overview of the distribution. The three horizontal lines in the box, from top to bottom, show, respectively, the boundaries for the upper quartile, the middle quartile and the lower quartile. The total height of the box represents the interquartile range (IQR). The whiskers are located 1.5 times the IQR from the ends of the box. The dots outside the whiskers are the outliers. Note: one outlier point for the right-most distribution, pyNAST, with a value of 124, is not shown on the plot but is considered in the statistics shown.
