Dear All, I am a undergraduate using R for the first time. It seems like an excellent program and one that I look forward to using a lot over the next few years, but I have hit a very basic problem that I can't solve. I want to produce a standardised histogram, i.e. one where the area under the graph is equal to 1. I look at the manual for the histogram function and find this: freq:

Hy all, I give example code : connexions_jours<-c(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5,5,6,6,7,7,7,7,7,7,7,7,8,8,8,12,15,19) pas_de_groupe<-1 hist(connexions_jours,col="red",xlab="Répartition du nombre de connexions par jours (sans

Hello there! When I do freq=F on hist, I get on the left a small number, what exactly does that mean? Thanks, Martin

Hi, if I dermine the break points using the hist() function and then try to re-use these in a new histogram, R fails. Here is an example of the problem: ##First, plot a histogram: data(islands) foo <- hist(islands,freq=T) ##Now, try plot it again, with the previously determined break points: hist(islands,breaks=foo$breaks,freq=T) ##... this lead to the warning message: Warning message:

Full_Name: Dr. Bernd Winkler Version: 1.2.2 OS: Linux Submission from: (NULL) (194.59.179.176) Hi all, having updated to version 1.2.2 last week I experienced some strange behaviour of the hist function. I want to plot a histogram of frequencies resp. counts, for example poisson random numbers, on a predefined and fixed x scale > hist(rpois(500, 2), breaks=0:10) But instead of the

There were some questions about hist() a couple of days ago which triggered this post. My question/suggestion is about the y-axis in hist. There are reasons to prefer making the y-axis density=relative frequency/bin width. One reason is that the height of the plot does not depend on the bin width; another is that if your histogram is in density then you can easily superimpose a smooth theoretical

Hello, I have a problem with the hist() function and showing densities. The densities sum to 50 and not to 1! I use R version 2.9.1 (2009-06-26) and I load the seqinR library. My data is the following vector: [1] 0.1400000 0.2000000 0.2200000 0.2828283 0.1600000 0.1600000 0.3600000 [8] 0.1600000 0.2200000 0.2600000 0.2000000 0.3000000 0.2200000 0.2342342 [15] 0.1800000 0.2200000 0.1600000

Hi, I have a casting/formatting question on hist.POSIXt: The histogram plot from POSIXct works perfect (with help of Prof. Ripley -thanks!). When processing the hist(plot=FALSE) output and then plotting the results over the x-axis (bins) coming from hist(), I lose the date/time labels, getting instead integers displayed. Trying to cast the $breaks with as.POSIXct gives silly results with

Hello! Up to now I have been using hist() to display the distributions. Howevere, I noteiced strange numbers on y (vertical) axis, if I used probability = T or freq = F option. I thought it is a bug and launched the R-bug system and found some posts on that matter. Brian Ripley responded to one, that one should look at truehist() for that. Ok I can use truehist() if I want to see the ratios

Going over my old notes, I realised that hist() has changed since the earlier versions of R, in that the intervals are now left-open,right-closed rather than the opposite. This is a change in the direction of S-plus compatibility, but I wonder how sensible it really is. The main problem is with ages, where you'd naturally take age 17 as representing something between 17 and 18, but: >

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,

Looking at Albrech Gebhardt's bug report to R-help (Dec.23) and proposal for improvement, I've been also trying several examples and comparing results with S-plus. Note that we have decided to NOT be fully compatible to S with our hist(.) function since we found S to be really `wrong' and `unuseful': S: - The value returned by hist(.) depends on plot=T or plot=F R: - We return a

Dear listers, A quick question about breaks in hist(). The histogram is highly screwed to the right, say, the range of the vector is [0, 2], but 95% of the value is squeezed in the interval (0.01, 0.2). My question is : how to set the breaks then make the histogram look even? Thanks in advance, Leaf

Hello I tried a few searches on hist, histogram, equidist and space (space=0 was mentioned in one contribution), but none of that so far worked. It also says in the help "##-- For non-equidistant breaks, counts should NOT be graphed unscaled:" - which is precisely what I am looking for, but I cannot find it. I want to make a histogram using breaks which are spaced exponentially and in

Hello R-list, I've been using hist to plot histograms of some data, but I get variable numbers of bins. I understood from reading the help file that breaks will set the number of bins. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm plotting measures from subsets of a larger data set. Depending on the data subset the number of bins varies despite having set breaks to 5 in all cases. See

hello, i am using the hist function with classified values. The class breaks are >1, so histogram$density is != 1. How to plot the histogram with freq=FALSE and the real class density values. I used: > h2 = hist(value, breaks = breaks_vector) > h2$density = round(h2$counts/sum(h2$counts), 2) > h2$intensities = h2$density > plot(h2, freq=F) but this isn't the best way, i

Hi Folks, I'd like to know how hist() decides how many cells to use when it ignores my "suggestion" to use say 'hist(...,breaks=50)'. More specifically, I have the results of 10000 simulations, each returning an 8-vector, therefore 8 variables each with 10000 values. Some of these 8 have somewhat skew distributions. Say one of these 8 variables is X. I ask for H <-

Hi all, I am doing histogram using the "hist" function. For some reason, the histogram does not look good... is there a way I can change the number of bins, and/or change the way that data gets binned... so that I can obtain a better looking histogram? Thanks a lot! [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Think I'm missing something to understand what is going on with hist(...) http://n2.nabble.com/What-is-going-on-with-Histogram-Plots-td3022645.html For my example I count 7 unique years, however, on the histogram there only 6. It looks like the bin to the left of the tic mark on the x-axis represents the number of entries for that year, i.e. Frequency. I guess it looks like the bin for

Is there any way to extract the break points from a hist function as a vector so I can later use them for a cut function? The ultimate goal is to make a frequency table of the data with the same break points that were used in the histogram.
