Error Bars (3D Box Plots)

In this style of 3D Sequential Box Plot, the ranges of values of selected variables are plotted separately for groups of cases defined by values of a categorical (grouping) variable. The central tendency (e.g., median or mean ), and range or variation statistics (e.g., min-max values, quartiles , standard errors, or standard deviations) are computed for each variable and for each group of cases and the selected values are presented as error bars.

3D Range plots differ from 3D Box plots in that for Range plots, the ranges are the values of the selected variables (e.g., one variable contains the minimum range values and another variable contains the maximum range values) while for Box plots the ranges are calculated from variable values (e.g., standard deviations, standard errors, or min-max value).
