ben oui, c’est bien connu de longue date, la #boîte_à_moustaches ne peut avoir de sens que pour une distribution unimodale, ce qui fait une hypothèse implicite très forte sur ses conditions d’utilisation.
Le premier exemple présenté…
… et tous les suivants ont cette même caractéristique : il y a plusieurs modes (sommets relatifs) dans la distribution
il propose des alternatives
Oui, la version de gauche est intéressante et… un peu technique à réaliser. Perso, les graphiques avec les points individuels, éventuellement bruité (jittered strip plot, celui de droite dans le deuxième exemple cité ci-dessus) me parait convenir parfaitement : plus directement lisible et pas vraiment compliqué techniquement à réaliser, surtout avec un petit nombre d’individus, comme c’est le cas pour les exemples d’alternatives)

Endless River: An Overview of Dataviz for #Categorical Data
▻https://nightingaledvs.com/endless-river-an-overview-of-dataviz-for-categorical-data
Let us explore some flow and network chart types that are ready-made for visual storytelling using categorical data As a data scientist, I am surrounded..
Conclusion
In summary, four types of charts for displaying flows between categorical data were discussed. Each chart type has its own unique quality for visual storytelling.
An Arc Diagram is useful at mapping 1:1 entity-relationships. Applications of such a chart include plotting the relationships of notes used in Beethoven’s Für Elise, to the character interactions in Les Misérables.
A chord diagram is used to display the strength of inter-relationships between categories. The thicker the chord, the stronger the relationship. One application of a chord diagram considers the relation between the count of words spoken between characters in the TV show Friends.
Sankey charts were shown to plot the multi-flow relationships between categories and can also be used to show the process flows between multi-component systems (e.g a steam engine)
Finally, a sunburst chart is used to plot event sequences and their proportional relationships as part of a wider set of relationships. Whether understanding the page-sequence flows on a website or the sequence of coffee flavours, a sunburst chart can cover it.
For all their differences, each chart types provides a unique way to tell a visual story with categorical data and their associated counts. Let the charts flow.
