data = <|"A" -> {40344, 30000, 30000}, "B" -> {82000, 85008}, "C" -> {98328}, "D" -> {45096, 41520, 42552}|>

BoxWhiskerChart[data, ChartLabels -> Placed[Style[#, Black] & /@ Keys@data, Above]]

enter image description here

There is just a single value for the key "C" so it is missing from the chart. Is there some way to display the label and e.g. a fence line or a plot marker at that value? Preferably not using Show to combine with ListPlot.

  • $\begingroup$ Maybe the other sample sizes of 2 and 3 are just for an example but if those are the actual sample sizes, then a Box and Whisker plot makes no sense for 2 and 3 data points just as much as id doesn't make sense for 1 data point. In that case just showing the data points gives the user a better display of what the data says. If the points overlap, just jitter them a bit. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Got it. Then you are consistent with the comment of @whuber (one of the best) at stats.stackexchange.com/questions/194842/…. $\endgroup$

Hack:

data = <|"A" -> {40344, 30000, 30000}, "B" -> {82000, 85008}, 
   "C" -> {98328, 98328, 98328}, "D" -> {45096, 41520, 42552}|>;

BoxWhiskerChart[data, 
 ChartLabels -> Placed[Style[#, Black] & /@ Keys@data, Above], 
 PlotRangePadding -> {{0.1, 0.1}, {10000, 10000}}]

    $\begingroup$ you can also do BoxWhiskerChart[ReplaceAll[{x_} :> {x, x}]@data, ChartLabels -> Placed[Automatic, Above]] where data is as in OP's original example (+1) $\endgroup$
