		sanderjd on June 25, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: I've stopped using box plots (2021) This is helpful! Is there a different name for the version of this that doesn't include the summary statistics on the same graph? I think seeing the distributions at different x-axis values (in my work, nearly always in a time series), but including the summary statistics is not as important and I agree that it's noisy.

Vertical kernel density estimation plot maybe? I'm not 100% sure what you mean. It would just be a vertical histogram if you're not doing kde.

I just mean the "violin" part - yes, just a vertical histogram, but centered - without including the "hard to read" summary metrics on top of it.
