[Feature Request]: STANDARD DEVIATION to the raincloud plot

[matyasbukva]

Description

Add STANDARD DEVIATION to the raincloud plot

Purpose

The errorbar of means should not only be SE and CI, but also SD.

Use-case

I think JASP is used by many biologists. In life science journals, it is often simply necessary to display the mean+sd. Okay, there's flexplot, but if you have a good looking raincloud plot, who needs that... plus you could really make publication ready plots. Implementing SD is certainly not a big problem, I don't understand why it hasn't been left out so far.

thx for the certainly valid request. This was probably just an oversight. I think there is no biologist on our team yet :D.
And we have not many requests from biologists here. So keep the requests coming. We do our best. I can give no timeline however.

Thanks :D We teach the basics of statistics to biologists at the University of Szeged with JASP, so I have several ideas :D.. Thank you very much..can we expect an update for the rest of the year regardless of the sd? Thomas Langkamp ***@***.***> ezt írta (időpont: 2024. dec. 5., Cs 12:14):

I hope so :D
We are in the testing phase for 0.19.2 and yes, the idea is to get it out the door this year. But there are still some bugs to be fixed. The progress board is internal access only however.

@JohnnyDoorn could you maybe revert the SD-removal that you made when you extended the CIs to within and mixed designs? Or is it more complicated?

So I added it - I was a bit hesitant at first because I feel the SE and CI are more informative from a inferential statistics point of view since they more accurately quantify the uncertainty in the data. But I guess the module is called "Descriptives" in the end, so should also do a good job simply describing the data instead of only focusing on inference.
