Figure 16

Functional boxplots obtained from the Minkowski functionals computed over 100 simulation of the optimal model obtained in Case 1, plus the Minkowski functionals computed on the real sample, along directions X and Y . The functionals have been averaged along direction Z. The functionals obtained from the real data are plotted with a thin dashed-dotted line. The functional datasets are stored in data matrices where the real sample is always contained in the first column of the matrix. The only case in which some outliers are detected is for the volume density in direction Y, but they correspond to two curves obtained from the simulations, not to the functionals computed on the real sample.
