The importance of Anne's Combs Quartet in understanding the influence of outliers on statistical properties
Anne's Combs Quartet is a series of four scatter plots that were defined by the statistician, Francis Anne's Combs, to illustrate how certain outliers can shape data and how statistical properties can look the same for very different data sets. Each scatter plot in the quartet has the same mean, variance, correlation, and linear regression, making them indistinguishable based on these summary statistics alone. However, a visual inspection of the plots reveals distinct and unique patterns. The quartet emphasizes the need to consider additional factors and properties beyond summary statistics to accurately analyze and interpret data.
