A fan chart is made of a group of dispersion fan diagrams,which may be positioned according to two categorising dimensions.A dispersion fan diagram is a circular diagram whichreports the same information about a dispersion as a box plot:namely median, quartiles, and two extreme values.
Elements[edit]
The elements of a dispersion fan diagram[1]are:
- a circular line as scale
- a diameter which indicates the median
- a fan (a segment of a circle) which indicates the quartiles
- two feathers which indicate the extreme values.
The scale on the circular line begins at the leftwith the starting value (e. g. with zero).The following values are applicated clockwise.The white tail of diameter indicates the median.The dark fan indicates the dispersion of the middle half of the observedvalues; thus it encompasses the values from the first to the third quartile.The white feathers indicate the dispersion of the middle 90% of theobserved values.
The length of the white part of the diameter corresponds with the numberof observations.
Application[edit]
A fan chart gives a quick summary of observed values which depend from two variables. This is possible thanks of a dense representationand a constant size which does not depend on the size of the single dispersion fan diagrams.
An essential advantage compared to a sequence of box plotsis the possibility to compare dispersion fan diagrams not only within one directionbut within two directions (horizontally and vertically).
Example[edit]
The following example presents data from the data set MathAchievewhich is part of the R packagenlmeof José Pinheiro et al.[2]It contains mathematics achievement scores of 7185 students.The students are categorisedaccording to sex and membership of a minority ethnic group.
The graphics show the mathematics achievement scores in dependencyon the socio-economic status of the students (x axis)and on the average socio-economic status of all studentsat the same school (y axis).The four graphic panels differentiate the studentsaccording to sex and membership of a minority ethnic group.
The fan charts reveals clearly how the median valueis partially following a big main tendencywhile the values of the single subgroups (with the cells) scatter largelywhat could lead to doubts about a possible correlation.

King Hrothgar of Denmark,a descendant of the great king Shield Sheafson, enjoys a prosperousand successful reign. He builds a great mead-hall, called Heorot,where his warriors can gather to drink, receive gifts from their lord,and listen to stories sung by the scops, or bards. But the jubilantnoise from Heorot angers Grendel, a horrible demon who lives inthe swamplands of Hrothgar’s kingdom. Grendel terrorizes the Danesevery night, killing them and defeating their efforts to fight back.The Danes suffer many years of fear, danger, and death at the handsof Grendel. Eventually, however, a young Geatish warrior named Beowulfhears of Hrothgar’s plight. Inspired by the challenge, Beowulf sailsto Denmark with a small company of men, determined to defeat Grendel.
Hrothgar, who had once done a great favor for Beowulf’sfather Ecgtheow, accepts Beowulf’s offer to fight Grendel and holdsa feast in the hero’s honor. During the feast, an envious Dane named Unferthtaunts Beowulf and accuses him of being unworthy of his reputation.Beowulf responds with a boastful description of some of his pastaccomplishments. His confidence cheers the Danish warriors, andthe feast lasts merrily into the night. At last, however, Grendelarrives. Beowulf fights him unarmed, proving himself stronger thanthe demon, who is terrified. As Grendel struggles to escape, Beowulftears the monster’s arm off. Mortally wounded, Grendel slinks backinto the swamp to die. The severed arm is hung high in the mead-hallas a trophy of victory.
Overjoyed, Hrothgar showers Beowulf with gifts and treasureat a feast in his honor. Songs are sung in praise of Beowulf, andthe celebration lasts late into the night. But another threat isapproaching. Grendel’s mother, a swamp-hag who lives in a desolatelake, comes to Heorot seeking revenge for her son’s death. She murders Aeschere,one of Hrothgar’s most trusted advisers, before slinking away. Toavenge Aeschere’s death, the company travels to the murky swamp,where Beowulf dives into the water and fights Grendel’s mother inher underwater lair. He kills her with a sword forged for a giant,then, finding Grendel’s corpse, decapitates it and brings the headas a prize to Hrothgar. The Danish countryside is now purged ofits treacherous monsters.
The Danes are again overjoyed, and Beowulf’s fame spreads acrossthe kingdom. Beowulf departs after a sorrowful goodbye to Hrothgar,who has treated him like a son. He returns to Geatland, where heand his men are reunited with their king and queen, Hygelac andHygd, to whom Beowulf recounts his adventures in Denmark. Beowulfthen hands over most of his treasure to Hygelac, who, in turn, rewardshim.
In time, Hygelac is killed in a war against the Shylfings,and, after Hygelac’s son dies, Beowulf ascends to the throne ofthe Geats. He rules wisely for fifty years, bringing prosperityto Geatland. When Beowulf is an old man, however, a thief disturbsa barrow, or mound, where a great dragon lies guarding a horde oftreasure. Enraged, the dragon emerges from the barrow and beginsunleashing fiery destruction upon the Geats. Sensing his own death approaching,Beowulf goes to fight the dragon. With the aid of Wiglaf,he succeeds in killing the beast, but at a heavy cost. The dragon bitesBeowulf in the neck, and its fiery venom kills him moments after theirencounter. The Geats fear that their enemies will attack them now thatBeowulf is dead. According to Beowulf’s wishes, they burn their departedking’s body on a huge funeral pyre and then bury him with a massivetreasure in a barrow overlooking the sea.
