Frequency Distribution Dashboard

Frequency Distribution Dashboard

A frequency distribution as a term used in statistics is a graph or table that displays the frequency of different outcomes in one sample. Each of the entries in the table contains some particular frequency of the occurrences of values within some particular interval or group. Thus, in this way, the table summarizes the total distribution of different values in the same sample.

A frequency distribution can show a summarized grouping of data that is divided into mutually exclusive classes. The number of occurrences in one class may also be included in such grouping. Using this method is a way of showing the unorganized data such as the results of an election, an income of people within a certain region, sales of a product within a week, a month, etc. Some of the graphs may be pie charts, histograms, bar charts and line charts. Frequency distributions can be used for both quantitative and qualitative data.

Another definition for a term of “frequency distribution” may be a listing of all unique values in one particular set of data, including an enumeration of the number of time each value or range of values can actually be observed in that set.

Being the correspondence of a set of frequencies with the set of categories, values or intervals into which a statistical population can be classified, any frequency distribution may be described in a way of a drawing that illustrates the dependencies with the help of the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and drawing software.

The Frequency Distribution Dashboard solution can be used while working in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM to simplify the process of creating the needed dashboards with help of the pre-made examples that can be easily edited any time it is needed.

The Frequency Distribution Dashboard solution can be useful for many specialists such as HR managers and other managers who intend to develop their business with the help of the progressive tools.

What chart should you use?

  • Use Histogram for few data points, and use Scatter Chart, Line Chart or Area Chart for many data points
  • Use Line Charts or Area Charts to show the shape of a distribution curve, not to show exact frequencies
  • Use Histogram or Scatter Chart to compare specific frequencies of your categories
