similar to: Removing lower whisker in boxplot to see the effects of the high values

Dear r-help, Unfortunately I cannot find in the documentation what determines ranges of a 'box' in the box-and-whisker plot. It is said in "Simple R" (http://www.math.csi.cuny.edu/Statistics/R/simpleR) that they are 1st and 3rd Qus usually. I tried to add to boxplot lines with (quantile(x,probs=0.25)), but lines do not coincide with edges of boxes.

Dear list, I am using a external program that outputs Q1, Q3, median, upper and lower whisker values for various datasets simultaneously in a tab delimited format. After importing this text file into R, I would like to plot a boxplot using these given values and not the original series of data points, i.e. not using something like boxplot(mydata). Is there an easy way for doing this? If I am not

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% | | | | -------

Hi, Is it possible to produce box-and-whisker plots given that I have the median, interquartile and 5/95th centile values, but not the data from which they come? It seems that it ought to be possible to coerce bxp to do what I want, but I can't quite see how.

Good Evening- I have a set of nine scenarios I want to plot to see how the distribution is changing, if one tail is getting larger in certain scenario, currently I am using this code colnames<-dimnames(sag_pdfs)[[2]] par(mfrow=c(3,3)) for(i in 1:9) { d<-density(sag[,i]) plot(d,type="n", main=colnames[i]) polygon(d,col="red",border="grey")} where sag is

Hi, Dear R-users, I have a problem when I drawing a boxplot. I want to extend the whisker to the 5% and the 95% quantiles and only show the most extreme outlier, like 0.01% and 99.99% percentiles. What should I do? I saw something on boxplot.stat, but even I define the parameter in boxplot.stat, what I should do next? how to connect it to boxplot? Thank you very much! Catherine -- View

Hello: I am plotting some data using the box and whisker plot. However, I only want to plot the median, max and min, as I only have these values and not the quartile values. It seems R arbitrarily constructs the box margins to be halfway between the median and the max/min. How do I make the box and whisker plots without the box values? Thanks, Michael [[alternative HTML version

Good Evening- I have a dataframe that has 10 columns that has a header and 7306 rows in each column, I want to combine these columns into one. I utilized the stack function but it only returned 3/4 of the data...my code is: where nfcuy_bw is the dataframe with 7305 obs. and 10 variables Once I apply this code I only receive a data frame with 58440 obs. of 2 variables, of which there should be

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

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

Hi, I would like to make a box and whisker plot but use a sample weight for each observation. I've searched around a bit and have not found a method of doing this. Anyone have any advice?

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-bugs, I'd like to be able to draw boxplots with solid or dotted whisker lines. The lty argument is currently ignored by boxplot(), and indeed hardwired in bxp(). It's not very difficult to customize these functions to generate various types of boxplots, but generally it might be an idea to allow the user to pass a few more graphical arguments to boxplot(). The approach might as

Hi everybody, I'm trying to modify the boxplot just to set the upper whisker to the 90 percentile value, but I still couldn't find the solution. Can anyone help me? Thanks Alessandro Carletti

Hi, Dear R-users: Sorry for bothering your guys again. I think I should rewrite my question. I know how to extend whisker by using range. The question is that I will set the range=1.5, and at the same time, I only want to show the extreme outlier, like 0.01% and 99.99% percentile, so what should I do? Thank you very much!

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 all, I'm sure this is reallly basic, but I just can get it to work. I want to plot six box & whisker plots together to make one figure so that they appear one below the next. I can do this using >par(mfrow=c(6,1)), but each box&whisker plots end up vertically compressed to the point where I can't see the actual bars, and there is a large amount of white space between each

Hello R users wiser than I - I am trying to produce a boxplot with quantiles defined by the type 6 algorithm used mainly by Minitab and SPSS for a comparison study. I found how to compare the results in tabular form using the quantile(x, type = 6) function, but am stuck on how to show the results in a summary boxplot form. Would someone be able the help with this situation? Many thanks, Matt

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

Hi all, I've been using the scatterplot3d function (from the scatterplot3d library) to create 3D plots. I was wondering whether there is anyway to group the points according to a particular group variable. For example I used the plot function as plot( factor( <GROUPINGVAR> ) , <PLOTVARS> ) to organise the results in a according to the grouping variable. I was wondering
