Box Plots¶
The following illustrates some options for the boxplot in statsmodels. These include violin_plot
and bean_plot
.

%matplotlib inline
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import statsmodels.api as sm
Bean Plots¶
The following example is taken from the docstring of beanplot
.
We use the American National Election Survey 1996 dataset, which has Party Identification of respondents as independent variable and (among other data) age as dependent variable.
[2]:
data = sm.datasets.anes96.load_pandas()
party_ID = np.arange(7)
labels = [
"Strong Democrat",
"Weak Democrat",
"Independent-Democrat",
"Independent-Independent",
"Independent-Republican",
"Weak Republican",
"Strong Republican",
]
Group age by party ID, and create a violin plot with it:
[3]:
plt.rcParams["figure.subplot.bottom"] = 0.23 # keep labels visible
plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = (10.0, 8.0) # make plot larger in notebook
age = [data.exog["age"][data.endog == id] for id in party_ID]
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
plot_opts = {
"cutoff_val": 5,
"cutoff_type": "abs",
"label_fontsize": "small",
"label_rotation": 30,
}
sm.graphics.beanplot(age, ax=ax, labels=labels, plot_opts=plot_opts)
ax.set_xlabel("Party identification of respondent.")
ax.set_ylabel("Age")
# plt.show()
[3]:
Text(0, 0.5, 'Age')
[4]:
def beanplot(data, plot_opts={}, jitter=False):
"""helper function to try out different plot options"""
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
plot_opts_ = {
"cutoff_val": 5,
"cutoff_type": "abs",
"label_fontsize": "small",
"label_rotation": 30,
}
plot_opts_.update(plot_opts)
sm.graphics.beanplot(
data, ax=ax, labels=labels, jitter=jitter, plot_opts=plot_opts_
)
ax.set_xlabel("Party identification of respondent.")
ax.set_ylabel("Age")
[5]:
fig = beanplot(age, jitter=True)
[6]:
fig = beanplot(age, plot_opts={"violin_width": 0.5, "violin_fc": "#66c2a5"})
[7]:
fig = beanplot(age, plot_opts={"violin_fc": "#66c2a5"})
[8]:
fig = beanplot(
age, plot_opts={"bean_size": 0.2, "violin_width": 0.75, "violin_fc": "#66c2a5"}
)
[9]:
fig = beanplot(age, jitter=True, plot_opts={"violin_fc": "#66c2a5"})
[10]:
fig = beanplot(
age, jitter=True, plot_opts={"violin_width": 0.5, "violin_fc": "#66c2a5"}
)
