ABSTRACT
The analysis of single-case data is a contested area, but the position taken in this text is that both visual and statistical analysis should be conducted. Chapter 5 focuses on how to construct data displays that help the user understand the data. It emphasises the benefits of exploratory data analysis. Examples of unhelpful graphical displays are given and then a series of steps for ensuring good-quality data plots and appropriate data exploration are illustrated. The chapter emphasises ways of exploring changes in the central location, trends and variance within and across phases within a study.
