Violin Plot

A violin plot is a combination of a box plot and a kernel density plot, showing the probability density of data at different values. The width of the "violin" represents the frequency of data points at that particular value.

• Visualizing the distribution shape of continuous data
• Comparing distributions across different groups
• Identifying multimodal distributions
• Showing data density along with summary statistics

• The outer shape shows the kernel density estimation
• The internal box plot shows summary statistics
• Optional points show individual observations or outliers
• Mean and median markers provide central tendency measures

• Width indicates the frequency of values in that region
• Symmetry or asymmetry reveals distribution shape
• Multiple peaks suggest multimodal distributions
• Box plot elements show quartiles and outliers
• Comparing multiple violins shows differences between groups
