What does the size w of the distribution box represent
Since the mathematician first popularized this type of visual data display in 1969, several variations on the classical box plot have been developed, and the two most commonly found variations are the variable-width box plots and the notched box plots. Variable-width box plots illustrate the size of each group whose data is being plotted. For a deeper dive into the IQR as a spread metric, see our IQR method documentation. It displays the distribution of data using a rectangular box and two whiskers making it easy to understand the spread, central tendency and presence of extreme.
