similar to: Off topic -- A BAD idea. Was: Boxplot BUT with Mean, SD, Max & Min ?

People, It appears that there is no way of getting Boxplots to plot using Mean, SD, Max & Min - is there something else that would do what I want? I couldn't find it . . Thanks, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades GPO Box 3411 Sydney NSW 2001 Australia E-mail: phil at pricom.com.au

Dear all, I have a dataset of 3 categorical factors, the mean and the standard deviation of each value. I want to use these values to plot a boxplot, grouped by each of the 3 categorical factors (24 boxplots in total). I don't have a clue on how to do the boxplot from mean and SD data already calculated. Thanks in advance [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am a new and unexperienced user of R and got so far as to know how to produce boxplots. I have no experience of messing with function code, so presently I do not know how to create a boxplot with group means instead of group medians. If somebody could help me either replace the median with the mean or superimpose the mean onto the existing boxplot, it would be appreciated.

This question has little or nothing to do with R; as usual I'm simply hoping to take advantage of the great depth of knowledge and expertise in the R community. Anyone who is interested in replying should send email directly to me (rolf at math.unb.ca) and not to this list. To get to my question: In a two person zero-sum game, the value of the game to the row player is v_r = max min

Hi R Users, I am using following R code to plot a "grouped boxplot". I'm hoping if I can add MEAN to these boxplots. Data is copied below and attached as text file. install.packages("ggplot2") library(ggplot2) dta<-read.table("Sample.txt",header=T) attach(dta) p <- ggplot(dta, aes(factor(month), nail)) p + geom_boxplot(aes(fill = factor(trt))) Data: month

Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated: I need to produce a custom plot i haven't come across in R. Basically, I want to show means, 1st standard deviation and 5th and 95th percentiles visually, using something resembling a boxplot. Is it possible to completely customize a boxplot so that it shows means as the bar (instead of, not as well as medians), standard deviations at

Hello, I am trying to plot two sets of boxplots together. These are estimates of two experiments and?seven?factors. The results of the two experiments I want to plot as boxplots stacked to each other. Therefore I plot first the results of the first experiment; and next with the add option the second set of boxplots. The boxplots are plotted at 'at = 1:7 - 0.15 for the first experiment and

Hi: I have a question making side by side boxplot. My response is numeric and I want to make a side by side boxplot of it accroding to a factor vector. So, there are several boxplots on the same plot. Each boxplot is with respect to one level for a factor. The levels of the factor are some characters. When I make the plot, the boxplots are arranged according to the alphabetic order of the

Hi all, Could anybody help me figure out how to write text on a boxplot. I have to plot 9 boxplots side by side on a single graph. On the x-axis I write numeric values with the 'names' argument but I'd like to add one label (character value) in the middle of each box. I know how to use the text() function for regular y~x plots but in this particular case, I'm kinda lost...

Dear R-users, I have a data frame containing 2 colums: column 1 is the patient numbers (totally 36 patients), column 2 is patient's response values (each patient has 100 response values). If I produce a boxplot for each patient on the same graph in order to compare them against each other then the boxplots are very small. How can I instead of creating one graph containing 36 boxplots,

Dear R-core team, I think I found a small inconsistency in the boxplot function. I don't want to post it as a bug since I'm not sure this might be considered as one according to the FAQ --- and this is not a major problem. Don't hesitate to tell me if I'm wrong. If you try to do a boxplot on a matrix and set the "at" argument to some vector different from 1:n, n is the

I really can't figure out how to get and set array indices from the c interface. so to get an element I'm calling tindex = *fn\SymbolTable(*index\name) index = LLVMBuildLoad(builder,tindex,"index") arr = *fn\SymbolTable(*array\name) arrptr = LLVMBuildLoad(Builder,arr,"arrayptr") tmp = LLVMBuildGEP(Builder,arrptr,index,0,"ptr") ptr =

Hi all, I would like to ask a question with regard to R graphics. I am currently trying to add data points in boxplots using points(). In my script, I add up boxplots three times using add=TRUE. I use points() every time I add boxplots, and I see data points. However, I see all data points are clustered at three specific points on x-axis; the locations of the data points are not overlapping with

Hii, I will create boxplots from matrices. I have the following data sets: 5.0 1.78 2.99 2.019 0 10.0 1.79 3.00 1.744 0 15.0 1.78 2.98 1.936 0 20.0 1.78 2.99 1.975 0 25.0 1.73 2.91 3.591 0 30.0 1.79 3.00 1.966 0 35.0 1.79 3.00 2.451 0 40.0 1.79 3.00

How to calculate the boxplots R? This question arises because we are building manually boxplots, we consulted various literature sources for calculations of the boxplot but our results differ from those generated by R, especially when calculating the whiskers. What is the procedure used by R to perform these calculations? Anyone can help us please? -- View this message in context:

hi I have list of matrix of lenggth 61 containg the mean values..I want to make a boxplot for each of the matrix. I used a for loop but i cant figure out the way to save in the boxplots > all.the.mean [[1]] mean 0.5 o.6 0.8 [[2]] 0.6 0.6 0.9 now i want the boxplot for each of the matrix in a seperate window.my code for(i in 1:length(all.the.mean) { windows() boxplot(all.the.mean[[i]] } this

Hi, I have 25 normal and 25 tumor samples and generated 50 boxplots one for each Is there a possibility to alternate the colors for the boxplots Green Red Green Red. Example: A B C D 10 23 23 34 20 24 24 30 20 2434 34 this would generate 4 boxplot one for each. I want the boxplot for A in Green while B in Red and alternated all the way till the end Data I am working on. a =

Hello people, A while back I wanted to plot boxplots with interactions that will have a dot for the mean of the sample + bars for the SE. After searching for some code, I found something that did it for one level, but couldn't find something that will allow for interactions the way the original boxplot does. After playing with the original code, I found a way for allowing the boxplot code to

Hi, I am a complete newcomer to R and although I can plot standard box-plots I am struggling with this... I have two treatments - A & B, and 2 variables 1 & 2. I want to compare boxplots of variable 1 with variable 2 for each treatment. I would also like them to all be on the same graphic. I would like treatment to be on the x axis (A and B) and above A and B have their corresponding
