Outliers in a boxplot: Necessary or not?
What's the significance of outliers in a boxplot? Is it necessary to represent all the outliers in a boxplot? And if we can remove some of them, what are the criteria to either remove/keep them?
Thanks Susmita

If you have too many outliers it probably means that the distribution of data you're trying to represent is far from normal. You can use other representations like violin or simply drawing all the points.
Depends on very much what story we are trying to tell.
