BOXPLOT Subcommand (SIMRUN command)

The BOXPLOT subcommand generates boxplots of the distribution of each continuous target. If the plan file contains specifications for sensitivity analysis and there is only one continuous target, then results for all iterations of the sensitivity analysis (one boxplot for each iteration) will be displayed on the same chart. Boxplots are not available for categorical targets.

DISPLAY. Controls whether boxplots are displayed. The default is NO, which specifies that boxplots are not displayed.

OVERLAYTARGETS. Specifies the behavior when there are multiple continuous targets. By default, results for each target are displayed on a separate chart. To overlay results for all targets on a single chart, specify OVERLAYTARGETS=YES.

  • If the plan file contains specifications for sensitivity analysis and there are multiple continuous targets, then OVERLAYTARGETS=YES will produce a clustered boxplot. In that case, the GROUP keyword controls the clustering. By default, the chart is clustered by sensitivity analysis iteration with results for a given iteration (the boxplots for the targets) grouped together (GROUP=TARGETS). You can cluster by targets by specifying GROUP=ITERS. You can change the grouping in the Output Viewer by activating the chart. Specifying GROUP=TARGETS ITERS will generate two charts, one for each of the two groupings.
Note: The BOXPLOT subcommand is ignored when data are generated in the absence of a predictive model.
