The violin, sometimes referred to as a fiddle, is a wooden chordophone, and is the smallest, and thus highest-pitched instrument (soprano) in regular use in the violin family. Smaller violin-type instruments exist, including the violino pic ...
s, but while violin plots depict kernel density, sina plots depict the points themselves. In some situations, sina plots may be preferable to violin plots, because sina plots contain more information.
The term "sina plot" is intended to recognize the contributions of Sina Hadi Sohi, a student at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Sina created the original code that researchers at the university used to generate these plots.
There are a number of ways to create sina plots, in particular:
