get values of 5 number summary from boxplot graph in graph builder

Hey JMP-community,

 

I need help with a JSL script. I would like to work with multible values from the "5 number summary" of boxplot graphs in the graph builder. Do you know how to get these values - f.e. in a list or a matrix? to work with these after the graph is build?

 

 

 

BR and thank you in advance

I would not try to extract this information from Graph Builder. I would use another platform instead. The Distribution platform computes these quantiles for you. You can open it as an invisible platform, extract the values, and then close it. See this example:

 

Names Default to Here( 1 );

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );

dist = dt << Distribution( Y( :weight ), Invisible );
rpt = dist << Report;

five pt summary = { min, q1, med, q3, max } = rpt["Quantiles"][NumberColBox(1)] << Get( { 11, 7, 6, 5, 1 });

dist << Close Window;

Thanks alot for you reply, that did in fact help me. I have just one open question left: When I create the distribution all values from all Boxes are put together. Is there an option to create the distribution for different X values? I try to explain it in my example above your post. There are 5 Boxes for different x values (here EC1, EC2, LS20,...) Is it possible to create these distributions for each different X value?

Adding in a grouping or a 'by' variable makes the method of @markbailey a little more complex (but perfectly doable). As an alternative, though, you could build on this:

Names Default To Here( 1 );
Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );
Summarize( exg = By( :sex ), exm = Mean( :height ), exMax = Max(:height) );
Print(exg, exm, exMax);
