Draft:Sparge plot

Submission declined on 19 January 2024 by KylieTastic (talk).

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

A sparge plot is a diagram depicting the spread of numerical data of one (or more) univariate distribution(s) using a combination of jittered and translucent points and superimposing subtle (e.g. white) boxplot(s) over the darker central collection of datapoints.^[1]^[2]

a colorful sparge plot with 10 variables as rows of 4 overlapping distributions smeared across the plot as horizontal streaks. Each color corresponds to a different outcome variable.

a four fold sparge Plot of 10 covariates and their distributions (here compared as t-values)

Sparge plots are similar to sina plots in displaying the points themselves, but sina plots depict kernel density and sparge plots use a boxplot overlay to quantitatively demarcate partitions of distributional spread.

An easy way to create a sparge plot is by using the 'plot.sparge' function in the 'caroline' R-package:

The caroline library of the R programming language.^[3]
