#' Side-by-side LV boxplots with base graphics
#'
#' An extension of standard boxplots which draws k letter statistics.
#' Conventional boxplots (Tukey 1977) are useful displays for conveying rough
#' information about the central 50\% of the data and the extent of the data.
#'
#' For moderate-sized data sets (\eqn{n < 1000}), detailed estimates of tail
#' behavior beyond the quartiles may not be trustworthy, so the information
#' provided by boxplots is appropriately somewhat vague beyond the quartiles,
#' and the expected number of ``outliers'' and ``far-out'' values for a
#' Gaussian sample of size \eqn{n} is often less than 10 (Hoaglin, Iglewicz,
#' and Tukey 1986). Large data sets (\eqn{n \approx 10,000-100,000}) afford
#' more precise estimates of quantiles in the tails beyond the quartiles and
#' also can be expected to present a large number of ``outliers'' (about
#' \eqn{0.4 + 0.007 n}).
#'
#' The letter-value box plot addresses both these shortcomings: it conveys
#' more detailed information in the tails using letter values, only out to the
#' depths where the letter values are reliable estimates of their
#' corresponding quantiles (corresponding to tail areas of roughly
#' \eqn{2^{-i}}); ``outliers'' are defined as a function of the most extreme
#' letter value shown. All aspects shown on the letter-value boxplot are
#' actual observations, thus remaining faithful to the principles that
#' governed Tukey's original boxplot.
