Examples

The task of the standard deviation circle is to depict the x-y relation of the family of curves end points (figure 1). Its purpose is to give a quick visual impression of the family of curves deviation, within in a plot of multiple mean curves. Plotting all family of curves in such cases might visually overburden the figure. Std circles are best used accompanied with scatter curves.
