Including Number of Observations in Each Quartile of Boxplot using ggplot2 in R
Including Number of Observations in Each Quartile of Boxplot using ggplot2 in R In this article, we will explore how to add the number of observations in each quartile to a box-plot created with ggplot2 in R. Introduction Box-plots are a graphical representation that displays the distribution of data based on quartiles. A quartile is a value that divides the dataset into four equal parts. The first quartile (Q1) represents the lower 25% of the data, the second quartile (Q2 or median) represents the middle 50%, and the third quartile (Q3) represents the upper 25%.
