similar to: box plot and plot whiskers

How are the lower/upper whiskers defined in the default version of boxplot {graphics}? I tried help(boxplot) and searching www.rseek.org, but I was unable to determine an absolute answer. I checked out the definition of boxplot according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot), but it also had several approaches listed for how the whiskers could be determined, so I'm just

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

dear R-help, i have looked carefully through the R-help archives for information on how to suppress whiskers in a bwplot. someone asked this question a while ago, but the answer he received is not available in the archives. but i did manage to get my hands on a panel function (called "my.panel") that is supposed to do this (the function is reproduced at the end of the email, below).

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

Hello, I know this has been covered on here before, but as a complete novice, I need a little more guidance. I would like to produce boxplots with the whiskers extending to the 10 and 90th percentiles. I found this code: myboxplot.stats <- function (x, coef = NULL, do.conf = TRUE, do.out = TRUE) { nna <- !is.na(x) n <- sum(nna) stats <- quantile(x, c(.1,.25,.5,.75,.9), na.rm

Hi all, I'm just getting started with R and I would appreciate some help. I'm having trouble creating a boxplot with whiskers at the 95th and 5th percentiles instead of at 1.5 * IQR. I have read the relevant documentation, and checked existing mails on this topic. I found a small modification that should work : https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2001-November/016817.html and tried to

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 using /"boxplot()"/ to show some data: x <- c(0.99, 0.97, 0.91, 0.72, 1.00, 0.99, 1.02, 0.90, 0.91, 0.90, 1.02, 0.90, 1.35, 1.01, 0.92) boxplot(x) is it correct when i say: /"Boxes represent interquartile ranges (IQRs); bold horizontal lines, medians; whiskers, lowest and highest values still within 1.5 x IQR; open circles, outliers."? /thanks in advance

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

Hi List, Just wondering where the documentation exists for the statistics which makeup the bwplot. I'm guessing that if R is like similar products that the graph is constructed as The median is the filled circle. The box surrounding the filled circle depicts the 25th and 75th quartile. The range of values is given by the dotted lines (?whiskers?) outside of each box, and possible

Hi list members. I’ll try to plot the abundance means of nine transects as lines, with five points on each transect (A to I). I will also need to plot for each point, it’s standard deviation (once each point will have tree replicates) as whiskers. Another problem will be that all the points should exist for each transect, but we know that six of the nine transects will have blanks (A1, A2, A3, -,

Try factor(vec2) in your bwplot() call. -----Original Message----- From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch]On Behalf Of Ernesto Jardim Sent: Friday, July 09, 2004 9:41 AM To: Mailing List R Subject: [R] Problem with bwplot Hi, I'm ploting some box-and-whisker plots with bwplot but I'm not getting any box-and-whiskers ... just dots.

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

R users: I am trying to replicate the boxplot output I achieve with Minitab in R. I realize that R gives the user many more options on the algorithm used to calculate the IQR than Minitab, so I concentrated on type=6 when using the quantile() function in R. The problem I am having is setting the upper and lower limit of the whisker based on the nearest actual data that should be included. If

Dear Researchers, sorry for this simple question. I have a point plot with mean values and i wish to plot line with Standard Deviation as "Whiskers". I calculate the mean+sd and mean-sd, but i can not figure out the way to add the line. mydata <- data.frame(mean=c(0.42,0.41,0.41,0.43,0.45,0.43,0.43,0.42,0.44,0.45,0.45,0.45,0.46,0.43,0.42,0.37,0.44,0.46,0.46,0.39,0.40),

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 R-community, Using bwplot, how can I put the whiskers at percentile 5 and percentile 95, in place of the default position coef=1.5?? Using panel=panel.bwstrip, whiskerpos=0.05, from the package agsemisc gives satisfaction, but changes the appearance of my boxplot and works with an old version of R, what I don’t want, and I didn’t find the option in box.umbrella parameters Many thanks

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?

Dear R people, I wonder how to hide tick lines behind other figures in a plot, e.g. in a boxplot. # Sample code: x<- c(rep(4,50),rep(5,20),rep(6,50),rnorm(20,5,1)) boxplot(x) axis(2,tck=1,col.ticks='grey',lty=5 ) # end of sample code The tick lines is put on top of the box-plot, but I would like to put these lines behind the box and whiskers..
