Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to make global variables in R. My problem is that I use the same data frame in many different functions that I have written, but it implies a very big waste of time because it slow down the program. So I would use my data frame without need to copy it each time in another function to have a faster program execution. How can I do ?? Thanks for Help

Hi ! I've used the example given in the documentation for the prcomp function both in R and SPAD to compare the results obtained. Surprisingly, I do not obtain the same results for the coordinates of the principal composantes with these two softwares. using USArrests data I obtain with R : > summary(prcomp(USArrests)) Importance of components: PC1 PC2

Hi, I am able to reverse the order of plotting on regular plots (i.e. with the plot() function) by manually setting the xlim variable. Is there some trick like this which will work for a boxplot? * for example: l <- sample(letters, 500, replace=TRUE) n <- runif(500) boxplot(n ~ l) this will produce a plot with the x-axis ranging from a->z ... i know that these are labels,

Dear useRs, how can I construct a box&whisker plot based on the vector "fivenum"? The challenge I face is as follow: I have a table such as x | fivenum --------------- ... | (.....) ... | (.....) and so forth.... For each observation x I have generated a vector containing the fivenum estimates. The first challenge is to group my fivenum vectors into groups based on a

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

bonjour, i'm a mathematic teacher and i have a question for R-developers : is it possible to have (in the future) a boxplot with whiskers from the first decile to the ninth decile, as usual in secondary french schools... by example : boxplot(serie,range=-1) for french boxplot ? cordialement, jean-pierre lyc?e jean zay orl?ans, france http://mathazay.free.fr/spip/

Hi The answer to this may be obvious, but it's got me floored. I'm unable to get boxplot.stats to work for me! My session looks something like this: > ia=read.table('/tmp/prueba.csv', header=TRUE, sep=",") > attach(ia) > boxplot.stats(X8weeks~Orden) Error in sort (na.last, decreasing, ...) : argument 1 is not a vector In addition: Warning

I have data I'd like to plot using the formula interface to boxplot. I call boxplot like so: with(mydata, boxplot(count ~ geno * tissue)) I get a boxplot with x axis labels like "wt.kidney". I would like to change the '.' to a newline. Where is this separator configured? Thanks, -Ed

Hi! I am trying to get the tick / label under a stacked boxplot with only a single data row. With >=2 rows it works, but with a single one the tick resp. my class name is not printed below the boxplot. Can anybody point me to what am I doing wrong? For example: boxplot(data.frame(c(3,4,5)),names=list("a"),beside=F) Here, I would like to have the "a" below the single

Dear all, I have the following data format cellnumber force 1 100 1 230 1 100 1 200 1 130 1 210 2 179 2 298 2 400 2 500 2 600 ........... I want to make a boxplot of the force according to the cellnumber. Here the cellnumber is actually a factor. It has 1, 2 two levels. How can I do that using boxplot? Thanks in advance Ming

I am using R 2.2.1 on a Windows 2000 PC. When I do a grid() after the boxplot it overprints the boxplot: > boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray") > grid(nx=NA, ny=NULL) > if I try the panel.first > boxplot(count ~ spray, data = InsectSprays, col = "lightgray", + panel.first=grid(nx=NA, ny=NULL)) > I can see the grid flash

Hi there, I get a strange behaviour of a boxplot with the following code. There seems to be a problem with the xlim-parameter. Did I do anything wrong? What else can I do to force the boxplot to have a defined x-range? x <- rnorm(100) boxplot(x, notch=TRUE, xlab=parameter, xlim <- c(-4,4), horizontal = TRUE) Antje

Hello, I have created two boxplots with following R code. There is one outlier in B group. The outlier is 33. But the all other data are between 0 to 4. How can I skip y-axis around 5 to 25, and expand 0-4 for this case. Also I want keep the outlier in my boxplot. I want my boxplot look like the second one, keep the outlier, and make an interrupt of y-axis from 5 to 25. Thanks, Jianghong

I have a list containing 48 objects (each with 30 rows and 4 columns, all numeric), and wish to produce 4 boxplot series (with 48 plots in each) , one for each column of each object. Basically I want a boxplot from boxplot(mylist[[]][,i]) for i in 1:4. It seems that I can create a boxplot of length 48 from the entire list, but I don't seem able to subscript to return 4 boxplots from the list

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

I am wondering if you know how to return by function or show in boxplot, the indexes of unusual points, such as, points that are outside the box or in [Q3+1.5IQR,Max]. For example, > boxplot(c(4,rnorm(20),8)) There are 2 unusual points 4 and 8. How to show the indexes of 4 and 8 in the boxplot or return them by function? Thanks, -james

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

Hola a todos, Tengo una pregunta: ¿cómo puedo forzar para que el eje de ordenadas de estos dos boxplot esté por ejemplo entre -10 y 10? He consultado la ayuda de la función pero no he sabido cómo hacerlo.  a<-rnorm(1:100) boxplot(a) b<-rnorm(2,1:100) boxplot(b) Disculpad si la pregunta es muy básica. Ojo: no quiero juntar los dos gráficos en un solo boxplot, sino que su rango del eje

bonjour, je voudrais savoir s'il serait possible de sugg?rer aux d?veloppeurs de R de proposer une option suppl?mentaire pour les moustaches, ? savoir les placer sur d1 et d9 comme c'est pr?conis? dans les programmes du secondaire en France, option du style boxplot (serie,range=91) par exemple... i would like to know if it is possible to have (with the agrement of developpers)
