Data
distributions
show the number or proportion of the events falling within a particular interval. JMP Life Sciences software presents these distributions as histograms or
parallel plots
.
The histograms below show the number of patients in a clinical trial that fall into specific
bins
or categories. For
numeric variables
, you can adjust the bin size using the hand tool.
Distribution estimates can also be overlaid using a
parallel plot
. The parallel plot below is generated from gene
expression
data (as determined by hybridization intensities whose relative scale is plotted on the
x
-axis) from a large number of individual subjects. Each curve represents one subject. Curves show the relative proportion (plotted on the
y
-axis) of gene
probes
exhibiting specific intensity values across the experiment.
