similar to: qqnorm(*, datax=TRUE, xlab,ylab) -- S+ compatibility problem

Hi, R friends. I had some difficulty with the following code: qqnorm(freq, log='y') qqline(freq) as the line drawn was seemingly random. The exact data I used appears below. After wandering a bit within the source code for "abline", I figured out I should rather write: qqnorm(freq, log='y') par(ylog=FALSE) qqline(log10(freq)) par(ylog=TRUE)

Hi all, I am an R newbie, and I have a question about scripting. I have the following lines which I want to put int\ o a script which I can call from the shell of a Mac/Linux machine : myrns <- read.csv(file="/Users/vihan/test.csv",sep="",header=FALSE) qqnorm(myrns) qqline(myrns) This works fine on an interactive R session. However, as I understand the basic framework of

Hello R friends, I'm wondering why I get funny qqnorm() results. It seems that they should all be reflected in the normal qqline(). For instance: if I qqnorm() bimodal or uniform data I get a sigmoidal in which the qqnorm() points lie above the qqline() at -ve theoretical quantiles, and the qqnorm() points lie below the qqline() at +ve theoretical quantiles. Yet I expect such platykurtic

I am a beginner in R, so please don't step on me if this is too simple. I have two data sets datax and datay for which I created a qqplot qqplot(datax,datay) but now I want a line that indicates the perfect match so that I can see how much the plot diverts from the ideal. This ideal however is not normal, so I think qqnorm and qqline cannot be applied. Perhaps you can help? Ralf

note: whole function is below- I am sure I am doing something silly. when I use it like USGS(input="precipitation") it is choking on the precip.1 <- subset(DF, precipitation!="NA") b <- ddply(precip.1$precipitation, .(precip.1$gauge_name), cumsum) DF.precip <- precip.1 DF.precip$precipitation <- b$.data part, but runs fine outside of the function: days=7

Dear R People: On the functions qqnorm and qqline, (found in the base package), what are the references, please? This is R for Windows, Version 1.4.1. Thank you so much!

I think qqline does not do exactly what it is advertised to do ("`qqline' adds a line to a normal quantile-quantile plot which passes through the first and third quartiles."). Consider the graph: tmp <- qnorm(ppoints(10)) qqnorm(tmp) qqline(tmp) The line (which I expected go through all the points), has a slightly shallower slope than does the points plotted by qqnorm. I think

Hello friends of R, My name is Toni, i'm 25 and I'm working on the Meteorological Investigation team from Balearic Islands. I had contact to you because I have a problem: I done a file for every day since 1912 about precipitation. That file has the following structure: > str(Ast) Loading required package: sp Formal class 'SpatialPixelsDataFrame' [package "sp"]

Hi all, I have just started using R to produce qqnorm plots. I am trying to switch the x and y axes so that the theoretical values are plotted on the y axis and my data on the x axis. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Flipping-axes-of-qqnorm-tp23248007p23248007.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

# I can not draw a 45 degree line on a qqnorm() plot, jj <- sample(c(1:100), 10) qqnorm(jj) abline() don't work. Thank you.

Hi all, I want to arrange two ggplot2 plots on the same page with their x-axes lined up - even though one is a boxplot and the other is a line plot. Is there a simple way to do this? I know I could do this using facetting if they were both the same type of plot (for example, if they were both boxplots), but I haven't been able to figure it out for two different types of plots. Below is my

Hi all, I'm modeling using lme in the nlme package. qqnorm makes plots just find, but when I try to add a line with qqline, I get the following error: "Error in sort.list(x, partial = unique(c(lo, hi))) : 'x' must be atomic for 'sort.list' Have you called 'sort' on a list?" For example > modelincr10<-lme(lruin~can.pos.num, data=rwushi30, random=(~1|

Dear R-help community, My main goal of this message is to find a way of skipping a file of a month/year in a loop that does not exist (and making it's output into an data.out array would be NA) and moving onto the next year/month in the loop to carry on filling data.out with real precipitation data. The situation so far: I downloaded 50 years worth of GRIB data files from the NCEP data

I want to qqnorm every column in a table. When I try the first column using qqnorm(table$column1), it worked. But when I use qqnorm(table[1]), it tells me "Error in stripchart(x1, ...) : invalid plotting method". What happen? How can I make a function that qqnorms every column? thanks a lot. -jiong The email message (and any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended

Dear experts, I tried to learn about Box-Cox-transformation but found the following thing: When I had to add a constant to make all values of the original variable positive, I found that the lambda estimates (box.cox.powers-function) differed dramatically depending on the specific constant chosen. In addition, the correlation between the transformed variable and the original were not 1 (as I

Hi, We could use qqplot to see how two distributions are different from each other. To show better how they are different (departs from the straight line), how is it possible to plot the straight line that goes through them? I am looking for some thing like qqline for qqnorm. I thought of abline but how to determine the slope and intercept? Best wishes, Carol

Hi all, i'm sure there is an easy way to do this, but i'm stumped, so any help would be appreciated. i have a single column of data for precipitation every 15 minutes over a year. i want to sum the precip to daily data. so the first 96 records = the first day, the second 96 records = the second day, and so on.... is there a way to write a for loop that would sum the data to daily, and

Hello, I have two different files which I'd like to combine to make one data frame but I've no idea how to do it! The first file has two columns; one is the date, the following is a binary code for debris flow events. Then my other file has also two columns; the date and then precipitation data. The thing is, is that the two date columns don't all contain the same dates. The binary

Hello, I am new to R exploratory data analysis and plotting. Is anyone aware of a way to overlay a set of conditional histograms with conditional PDFs? Below, I generate a lattice plot of precipitation histograms based on different months and stations, given a subset of the dataset: histogram(~ data | month * station, data = sta.stack[sta.stack[,"type"]=="precip" &
