similar to: Getting the values out of histogram (lattice)

Dear all, I have a surprising problem with the representation of frequencies in a histogram. Consider, for example, the R code: b<-rnorm(2000,3.5,0.3) hist(b,freq=F) When I plotted the histogram, I expected that values in the y-axis (the probability) varied between 0 and 1. Instead, they varied within the range 0-1.3. Have you got any suggestion for obtaining a correct graph with

Dear All, I have a massive dataset from which I would like to draw a histogram. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Thanks in advance, Paul

x<- sample(1:14, 319, rep=T) hist(x, freq=F, xlab='',ylab="Percent of Total", col="skyblue", labels=TRUE, right=FALSE,main="Position of Hypothetical Protein") Is there is way to round the labels to 2 decimal digits, for example, 0.088 is changed to 0.09. Thanks! -- Sincerely, Changbin -- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

With R and the hist function, is there a way to make a histogram in which the y axis denotes propotion with respect to a separate sample dataset of the same range instead of frequency? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, all; I get an unexpected result when trying to plot a probability histogram with R1.9.1 on windows xp: #with the following code: > x <- runif(100,0,1) > hist(x) > hist(x, freq=F) > h <- hist(x, freq=F) > summary(h) # Length Class Mode #breaks 11 -none- numeric #counts 10 -none- numeric #intensities 10 -none- numeric #density 10

Hi, Does anybody encounter the same problem when we overlap histogram and density     that the density line seem to shift to the right a little bit?           If you do have the same problem, what should we do to correct that?           Thank you.           par(mar=c(4,4,2,1.2),oma=c(0,0,0,0))     hist(datobs,prob=TRUE, main ="Volume of a catchment from four    

Hi, This might be a simple problem but I don't know how to calculate a random variable density the way panel.histogram does it before it creates the actual density rectangles. The documentation says that it uses the density function but the actual code suggests that the hist.constructor function (which does not seem to be easily accessible). Any suggestion for computing the density values of

i want to plot the histogram and the curve in the same graph.if i have a set of data ,i plot the histogram and also want to see what distribution it was.So i want to plot the curve to know what distribution it like. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/how-to-plot-the-histogram-and-the-curve-in--the-same-graph-tp20082506p20082506.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at

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 am facing the problem that I want to plot a histogram chart set freq to true and overlay with normal or weibull or exponential distribution curve. The sample code is shown as below: >samp<-c(-8.2262,-8.2262,-8.2262,-8.20209,-8.09294,-8.07321,-8.07321, -8.07321,-8.07175,-8.04948,-8.04948,-8.04948,-8.03848,-8.03848,

Hi, Currently I have a density plot generated with this snippet. Is there a way I can add a line curve on top of it? I mean in one figure __BEGIN__ myhist <- hist(x col="blue", main = "Density Plot", xlab = "Exp Level", ) __END__ - Gundala Viswanath Jakarta - Indonesia

Hello, I'm trying to superimpose a line plot onto a histogram but I'm not having any luck. I've attached the dataset. What I did was: > hist(data,freq=F) Now I'm trying to superimpose the following points with a line connecting them onto the histogram: x y 100 0.535665393824959 200 0.212744329736556 300 0.0844933242968584 400 0.0335572838043417 500

Hello All,* *I want to draw a histogram with density curve. * *For that simply i created a data called*"x" *and i used the function called * hist(x, col = "blue", freq = FALSE),** *from this function i got a histogram*. *After that , i tried this function* ** lines(density(x), col = "red", lwd = 2 ) *but i could not get the density curve. So, Again i used

Hello, I have problem running the histogram function "hist". The area under the histogram is much lower than 1. Could anyone tell me what the problem is? Thanks, (The total number of observation is 992 (close to 1000), so the probability that 0<Y1<35 is approximately 0.277) miao rm(list=ls()) par(mfrow=c(1, 1)) Y <- cbind(matrix(35*0.5,1,277), matrix(35*1.5, 1, 146),

Hello, To indicate probability densities instead of counts on a histogram, I specify freq = FALSE. However, I expect that summing all top y coordinates over all the intervals of the histogram will provide 1. 1) v <- c(0.2885, 0.2988, 0.3139, 0.2615, 0.3179, 0.3163, 0.2583, 0.3052, 0.2527, 0.3147, 0.3235, 0.2408, 0.2480, 0.3108, 0.3577, 0.2829, 0.2694, 0.3275, 0.3314, 0.2639, 0.3076,

Dear list, I'm new to R, please bear with my silly questions. I'm trying to get an understanding of why the results I get from a call to hist() are not as I thought I would get. When I use the parameter freq=FALSE, I think the plot will contain bars that none of them is larger than 1, because they're probabilities. But for my code, the bars exceeded 1. The actual data seems

Hi, I am searching for a possibility to display a logarithimic y-axis in a histogram. With plot that's easy (e.g. plot(1:10, log="y") but for histograms this does not work the same way: I tried hist(rnorm(1000), freq=FALSE, seq(-4, 4, .5), ylim=c(0.001, 0.5), log="y") Which gives the expected histogram but also warnings for my log="y" command

Is there any neat way to add a curve (frequency function or the like) to a histogram or other plots? I haven't found one yet... Robert

Hello, This is a problem for which there seem to be several solutions online, but not really. My question was about plotting a curve over the histogram. All the previous posts and messages talk about generating a *density histogram*using (freq=F) and then plotting the density curve. However, I find that that seriously distorts my data and the plot becomes confounding to the viewer. I was
