similar to: mild and extreme outliers in boxplot

Hi, I was just trying to figure out how to beautify the output of my bwplot-output. Altogether I figured most of the things out on my own. The one thing which puzzles me though are the symbols for the outliers. I can easily change the form of the median symbol by using "pch" but I don't know how to do this for outliers. Obviously the "outpch" of the

Dear all, I am a total beginner in R, so sorry if this is the wrong place. I am using R 2.10.1 on a Mac (Mac OS 10.6.2). I have this small dataset : growth sugar 75 C 72 C 73 C 61 F 67 F 64 F 62 S 63 S I have no problem reading the table, or getting the summary, but if I try boxplot(growth~sugar, ylab="growth", xlab="sugar", data=Dataset), I have the following error :

I'd like to suggest changes to three help pages, regarding the use of pch=NA to suppress plotting symbols. See below. Arni R 2.0.1 on WinXP === help(bxp) === The argument outpch=" " needs to be replaced with outpch=NA in two places. I actually wrote this part of the documentation myself at one point, but have now realized that pch=NA and pch=" " are not the same:

For boxplot(), is it possible to pass in a parameter to change the default way that the 1st and 3rd quartiles are computed? (specifically, I'd like to use type 6 described in the quantile function). Also, what are the options for how outliers are computed, and how can one change them? Thank you [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear Users Is there any way to generate lines instead of points for outliers in the boxplot function? Thanks AA. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

dear R experts: I am playing with boxplots for the first time. most of it is intuitive, although there was less info on the web than I had hoped. alas, for some odd reason, my R boxplots have some fat black dots, not just the hollow outlier plots. Is there a description of when R draws hollow vs. fat dots somewhere? [and what is the parameter to change just the size of these dots?] Also, let

Hi all, Is there a way to change the color of the boxplot plots outliers? Thanks. Hanna [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all, I wanted to remove all punctuations except commas from a string. I used: gsub("[[:punct:]]", "", string) but I don't know how to exclude the commas ",". Anyone would kindly answer my basic question? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Remove-all-punctuations-except-commas-tp24845721p24845721.html Sent from the R help mailing list

http://www.nabble.com/file/p14668788/paragraphs.png Hi, R is is world full of wonders... I created the attached plot, and I think it's exactly what I need! Well, actually I think it is more that wht I need... I wanted R to show the mean values of the categories on the x-axis and maybe the standard derivation as well. I am pretty confident that the bold horrizontal lines in the plot show

Another naive stats question. I'm trying to better understand what boxplots are telling me. I think what I see is the median and the boundaries of the 1st and 3rd quartiles. The whiskers represent the range of the data unless there are points which are outside "range" (default: 1.5) times the distance from the median to that quartile. Is that right? I've read the

I am trying to draw a plot like Matlab does: The upper extreme whisker represents 95% of the data; The upper hinge represents 75% of the data; The median represents 50% of the data; The lower hinge represents 25% of the data; The lower extreme whisker represents 5% of the data. It looks like: --- 95% | | ------- 75% | | |-----| 50% | | | | -------

What I'm trying to do is create best fit line in R for a set of data points and then remove all the outliers to re-create a best fit. I can't use IQR because the outliers I have in mind are easily within the range, but way out of line for the best fit, which is ruining the fit. I'd rather throw out those points all together. Thanks! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I really like the ease of use with the boxplot command in R. I would rather have a boxplot that shows the average value and the standard deviation then the median value and the quartiles. Is there a way to do this?

Hi, I am new in R and would like to dot plot my real data points from different categories and put box plot overlapping. To give a feeling of the distribution of my data and the real values. I managed to that in excel but it takes a lot of time and it makes the program crash quite often! http://n4.nabble.com/file/n2134530/Excelversion.jpg I managed to get a box plot and a dot plot of my three

Hi all, I've been using the scatterplot3d function (from the scatterplot3d library) to create 3D plots. I was wondering whether there is anyway to group the points according to a particular group variable. For example I used the plot function as plot( factor( <GROUPINGVAR> ) , <PLOTVARS> ) to organise the results in a according to the grouping variable. I was wondering

dear all, I have two dataframes dataframe1 ID a b c dataframe2 ID value a;W 100 X;c 200 Y;Z 300 I wanted to match the IDs from the two dataframes and record the values into a new column of dataframe1 at the corresponding rows. This is what I expect: dataframe1 ID value a 100 b c 200 I tried doing it like this: for (i in seq(1:nrow(dataframe1))) {

Dear R-users, I have two outliers related questions. I. I have a vector consisting of 69 values. mean = 0.00086 SD = 0.02152 The shape of EDA graphics (boxplots, density plots) is heavily distorted due to outliers. How to define the interval for outliers exception? Is <2SD - mean + 2SD> interval a correct approach? Or should I define 95% (or 99%) limit of agreement for data interval,

Dear all, When I loaded a dataset (a txt file), which is structured in a tabular format, to R by using read.delim, I found some rows were missing. The column number was correct. These missing rows are no apparently different from the other rows, and for some unknown reasons these missing rows scattered among the last 50 rows of the dataset. Then after I tried to open this txt file in Excel and

Is there a way to modify the choice of notch size [1] in R's boxplot routine from outlining a 5% significance region, to say 1% or lower? Thanks, Alex [1] McGill, Tukey, and Larsen. "Variations of Box Plots", The American Statistician, Vol. 32, No. 1, 12-16.

Hello R-users, Is there any more sophisticated way how to identify the dataset outliers other then seeing them in boxplot? I wanna exclude them from further analysis and I am interested in their position in my vector data. Rado -- Radoslav Bonk M.S.
