The example in my answer above is done "directly on continuous data". It's really designed for the continuous case (but could also be used with discrete data, like counts, say). The best way to understand it is calculate a few in different situations. (It may make sense to also calculate 5 or 6 other displays of the same data to see what they all tell you.) | |
