You have some control of the number of stems that are used, and can suppress printing the depth. Here we asked for no more than 6 stems and we got 4. You can easily translate mathematical and algebraic formulas into MacAnova commands. This is printed since it was not assigned to a new variable. Here is another way to get these values, using a vector as a subscript.
Graphical summaries are often as useful as numerical ones and a box plot is one of the easiest.
You can label any graph the same way. If you prefer a vertical plot, use vboxplot . If you want to check whether it is plausible that the data are normal, a normal scores or rankit plot may be helpful. This is very similar, but not exactly the same, as the normal probability plot described by Ott on p. 700. If the data are approximately normal, a plot make this way should approximate a straight line.
