“…shows that, for each of the three models, predictions cover the range of observed shear strength in a satisfactory manner. In particular, the figure shows the comparison of the box plots of V test measured for groups 3, 5 and 12 of comparable experiments (notation according to ) and V R,c,θ evaluated with the three models A, B and C. A box plot is a statistical technique used to summarize and compare groups of data visually. In each box, the central mark is the median, the edges of the box are the 25th and 75th percentiles, the whiskers extend to the most extreme data points not considered outliers and outliers are plotted individually.…”
