Table 6.2 Graphical description of facet statistics

Up  Previous  Next

One table is produced for each facet. Each entry in the table is a bar-chart reflecting the distribution of the reported statistics. The scale is from left to right, with range such that all facets have the same scale for each statistic. "M" represents the mean value of the statistic for the facet, "S" is one sample standard deviation each side of the mean, "Q" is two sample standard deviations, and "X" is three.

 

Frequencies above 9 are reported vertically, thus 10 is printed as
