How-to guide

Tuva can draw statistical measures onto a plot and list them as a table below it.

  1. Build the plot you want statistics for.

    A dot plot before any statistics have been added

  2. Click Stats in the toolbar across the top. The menu offers Mean, Median, Mode, Mean Average Deviation, Interquartile Range, Standard Deviation, Variance, Standard Error, plus Rounding and Show Labels.

    The Stats menu open, listing the available measures

  3. Click a measure to switch it on. A line for it appears on the plot, and you can switch on more than one at a time.

  4. Click Summary at the bottom of the screen, next to Table, to see the same measures as a table.

    The Summary tab open below the plot, showing a table of the statistics

The Summary tab lists one table per measure you have switched on. If a categorical attribute is on an axis, it breaks the measure down by that attribute’s categories rather than giving one figure for the whole plot.

Count is not in the Stats menu. It lives in Count and Percent, alongside Percent, Proportion and Dividers. Switch those on the same way, and they appear in the Summary tab beside the Stats measures.
