Hello Currently i'm working on a paper for my study and, on advice of my tutor, i'm using R. But now i'm stuck on something. I've used the bootstrap method to determine if a found value was significant. Lets say this found value is x, the collection of random samples is y (n=1e+06) I've compared x to y and found that x is smaller then 963482 samples of y (so p=0.037) I wanted to show this in a graph and figured a histogram would suit best. But I dont get what is expected to get. http://www.nabble.com/file/p21998165/example.bmp What I expect http://www.nabble.com/file/p21998165/found.jpg What I found Can someone please help me with finding a way to make this significance visable in some sort of graph? Thanks a lot! Jeroen -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problems-with-Histogram-tp21998165p21998165.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
One possibility is something along the lines of: plot(density(bootstraps)) abline(v=original.value) Patrick Burns patrick at burns-stat.com +44 (0)20 8525 0696 http://www.burns-stat.com (home of "The R Inferno" and "A Guide for the Unwilling S User") TomPoes wrote:> Hello > > Currently i'm working on a paper for my study and, on advice of my tutor, > i'm using R. > But now i'm stuck on something. > > I've used the bootstrap method to determine if a found value was > significant.
