Hi list, After a lot of tweaking i have managed to create a histogram with an overlaying density plot. The histogram shows a sample of birth weights of babies and the density plot shows birth weights from a much larger reference populaton. My data is divided in 0.1 Kg bins so in the code below binweigh=0.1. The trouble with the current graph is that it is not very clear since the density plot

Hi I have recently been analyzing birthweight data from a clinic. The data has obvious defects in that there is digit preference on certain weights making them overrepresented. This shows as spikes in the histogram on certain well rounded weights like 2, 2.5, 3, etc. I would like to show this to government officials but can't figure out how I should present the finding in an easy to

Hi fellow users I have a new R problem i am hoping to get some pointers on. I have a dataset that is approximately normally distributed but with a fat left tail. I am interested in a good measurement on how much fatter the left tail is than can be expected from a normal distribution. One thing I'll tried was fitting a two component mixture model with the Rmix package but i am also interested

Hi R users. I am new to the community and have got myself into a little problem. I have a dataset of birth weights recorded by nurses at a delivery clinic in an developing country. The weights are entered in KiloGrams with one decimal. However there is substantial heaping at each 500g when looking at the sample in a histogram. Do anyone of you know a easy way to adjust for this and if it exists
