Askelkuvio

Askelkuvio, also known as "staircase diagram" or "staircase plot," is a graphical representation used to visualize the cumulative distribution of a dataset. It is particularly useful in statistics and data analysis for understanding the distribution of data points and identifying patterns or trends.

The diagram consists of a series of steps, where each step represents the cumulative frequency or cumulative proportion of the data up to a certain value. The x-axis typically represents the data values, while the y-axis represents the cumulative frequency or proportion. The steps are usually aligned with the x-axis, and the height of each step corresponds to the cumulative frequency or proportion at that point.

Askelkuvio is commonly used in various fields, including finance, economics, and social sciences, to analyze data distributions, compare datasets, and make informed decisions. It provides a clear and intuitive way to understand the spread and central tendency of data, making it a valuable tool for data visualization and analysis.
