The box plot has been used for a very long time since 70s in checking the existence
of outliers and the asymmetrical shape of data. The existing box plot is constructed
using five values of statistics calculated from either the discrete or continous data. Many
improvement of box plots have deviated from the elegant and simplier approach of exploratory
data analysis by incorporating many other statistic values resulting the turning
back of the noble philosophy behind the creation of box plot. The modification using
range value with the minimum and maximum values are being incorporated to suit the
need of selected discrete distribution when outliers is not an important criteria anymore.
The new modification of box plot is not based on the asymmetrical shape of distribution
but more on the spreading and partitioning data into range measure. The new propose
name for the box plot with only three values of statistics is called range-box plot.
