similar to: sample weight for box plot?

Good Afternoon- I was wanting to alter the boxplot to remove the lower whisker, both the whisker line and staple just on the lower end. Is there a way to do this? As my code is currently: boxplot(log_loads~ind,data=nfmaum, horizontal=TRUE, notch=T, outline=FALSE, whisker=0, main="Maumee River Near Future Climate Scenarios", ylab="Log Load",xlab="Climate Scenarios")

Hi, I'm trying to graph some data in a boxplot-like style, but I want to set the box and whisker limits myself (rather than having R calculate them for me). I'd like the boxes to be shaded and the whiskers to be dotted lines. My data are set up is something like this: min.whisker max.whisker min.box max.box species 0 200 20 37

Dear list, I am using a external program that outputs Q1, Q3, median, upper and lower whisker values for various datasets simultaneously in a tab delimited format. After importing this text file into R, I would like to plot a boxplot using these given values and not the original series of data points, i.e. not using something like boxplot(mydata). Is there an easy way for doing this? If I am not

Hi, Is it possible to produce box-and-whisker plots given that I have the median, interquartile and 5/95th centile values, but not the data from which they come? It seems that it ought to be possible to coerce bxp to do what I want, but I can't quite see how.

Hi, Dear R-users, I have a problem when I drawing a boxplot. I want to extend the whisker to the 5% and the 95% quantiles and only show the most extreme outlier, like 0.01% and 99.99% percentiles. What should I do? I saw something on boxplot.stat, but even I define the parameter in boxplot.stat, what I should do next? how to connect it to boxplot? Thank you very much! Catherine -- View

Dear r-help, Unfortunately I cannot find in the documentation what determines ranges of a 'box' in the box-and-whisker plot. It is said in "Simple R" (http://www.math.csi.cuny.edu/Statistics/R/simpleR) that they are 1st and 3rd Qus usually. I tried to add to boxplot lines with (quantile(x,probs=0.25)), but lines do not coincide with edges of boxes.

Hello: I am plotting some data using the box and whisker plot. However, I only want to plot the median, max and min, as I only have these values and not the quartile values. It seems R arbitrarily constructs the box margins to be halfway between the median and the max/min. How do I make the box and whisker plots without the box values? Thanks, Michael [[alternative HTML version

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% | | | | -------

dear all, could somebody tell me how I can plot mild outliers as a circle(?) and extreme outliers as an asterisk(*) in a box-whisker plot?

Hi all, I have 6 datasets(dataframes Assem_ContigsLen7 through all_ContigsLen12) containing 3 columns (contig_id, contig_length, read_count). Each dataset is composed of 3 types of contigs (assemblies of genomic fragments), 1- all Bacterial fragments, 2 - all Viral fragments, 3 - mixed fragments. I identified the type of contig through a merge with another table with just contig_id and

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

bonjour, i'm a mathematic teacher and i have a question for R-developers : is it possible to have (in the future) a boxplot with whiskers from the first decile to the ninth decile, as usual in secondary french schools... by example : boxplot(serie,range=-1) for french boxplot ? cordialement, jean-pierre lyc?e jean zay orl?ans, france http://mathazay.free.fr/spip/

In a Box and Whisker plot, I thought that when there are outliers both abov= e and below the whiskers, then the whiskers should both be the same length = (plus or minus 1.5 times the inter-quartile range). If you look at the plot for SilwoodWeather on p.155 of The R Book you will = see that for November (month =3D 11) the upper whisker is shorter than the = lower, while for other months with

Hello, I have a couple more questions about boxplots. In the books I've read on statistics (I'm not a statistics expert but just a poor engineer trying to help his wife with the analysis of the data she gathered for her medieval history PhD), I seen two kinds of box plots: one using quartiles to determine the height of the rectangles and whiskers which is what the standard R boxplot does,

Dear r-bugs, I'd like to be able to draw boxplots with solid or dotted whisker lines. The lty argument is currently ignored by boxplot(), and indeed hardwired in bxp(). It's not very difficult to customize these functions to generate various types of boxplots, but generally it might be an idea to allow the user to pass a few more graphical arguments to boxplot(). The approach might as

I would like to create 15 box plots from two sets of data. Set1 - containts PayGrade, Min_Salary, Max_Salary data for 15 pay grades Set2 - contains PayGrade, Actual_Min, Actual_Max, and Actual_Mean for the 15 pay grades I would like 15 box plots (one for each paygrade) whose whiskers were the Min_Salary and Max_Salary data and whose ''box'' was Actual_Min, Actual_Mean,

Hi everybody, I'm trying to modify the boxplot just to set the upper whisker to the 90 percentile value, but I still couldn't find the solution. Can anyone help me? Thanks Alessandro Carletti

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

When plotting using the cex.axis argument to boxplot(), the size of the plotting symbols beyond the whiskers of the boxplot are being changes. Example: par(mfrow=c(2,1)) boxplot(c(rnorm(10), 10), horizontal=TRUE, main="Test", las=2, cex.axis=2) boxplot(c(rnorm(10), 10), horizontal=TRUE, main="Test", las=2, cex.axis=1) This is from the following line in bxp()

My box plot below is drawing its upper whisker all the way to the last point, instead of showing the point as an outlier. Am I misunderstanding, or is it a bug? Help(boxplot) states for the parameter ?range? that ?this determines how far the plot whiskers extend out from the box. If range is positive, the whiskers extend to the most extreme data point which is no more than range times the
