similar to: Axis labels

Hi, I have a simple problem that I would appreciate getting some tips. I am using the "truehist" function within an "apply" call to plot multiple histograms. I can't figure out how to get truehist to use the column names of the matrix as the labels for the x-axis of the histograms. Here is a simple example: X <- matrix(runif(4000),ncol=4) colnames(X)

HI, I am using Windows XP and R version 2.9.2. I have a data frame written by R similar to the following: Lab_ID Analysis_Soil Results -4MAD -2.5MAD +2.5MAD +4MAD 55003 Calcium-2008-116 900 961 1121.5 1656.5 1817 55003 Calcium-2008-117 3321 2175 2380.5 3065.5 3271 55003

I have a batch of data in each line of data contains three values, calcium score, age, and sex. I would like to predict calcium scores as a function of age and sex, i.e. calcium=f(age,sex). Unfortunately the calcium scorers have a very "ugly distribution". There are multiple zeros, and multiple values between 300 and 600. There are no values between zero and 300. Needless to say, the

Deepayan: Sorry for the additional email, but I'm concerned that I wasn't being clear. In the end, I would like a graphic that portrays my y-values on a log scale in their native data range. That is to say, I would prefer to see the axis labels as 1000 rather than 3 (log10 of 1000). Thank you for your kind assistance, Hobie Perry St. Paul, MN Hobie Perry <hobie_perry@yahoo.com>

Dear R Community, I hope you might be able to assist with a small problem creating a function. I am working with water-quality data sets that contain the concentration of many different elements in water samples. I need to assign quality-control flags to values that fall into various concentration ranges. Rather than a web of nested if statements, I am employing the findInterval function to

I am submitting the command: calcium<-read.table("calcium.txt",header=TRUE) and with Rw0630 and Bdr0631 I get an application error and R crashes. But the command works fine with rjune. I am running under NT4.0 Anyone have a similar problem? Jeff jmorris at ocdus.jnj.com -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read

Hi, This is a very basic question, but I would like to undestand hist(). I thought that the hist( , freq=FALSE) should provide the relative frequencies (probabilities), and so they should sum 1, however: set.seed(2) ah <- hist(rnorm(100), freq=F) sum(ah$intensities) [1] 2 set.seed(2) bh <- hist(rlnorm(100), freq=F) sum(bh$intensities) [1] 0.4999996 I'm getting similar figures with

How can I extend the axis of truehist with negative values. I need to plot residuals from a stepwise regression. Ulrich -- __________________________________________________ Ulrich Leopold MSc.

Hi, I'm wondering how can I change the position of xlab in truehist. For example, the following code creats a histogram with 4 bins for my discrete data. I want each bin to be labelled as 0, 1, 2, or 3 in the middle, so that it's clear each bin corresponds to each of the discrete case. I was thinking of first delete xlab and then add marks myself, but it doesn't look like it's

Dear People, I am sure I am missing something obvious as usual, but in the following graph I can't plot ylab. Ignoring unimportant details, I am plotting one instance of truehist() and one instance of curve() on the same graph. Truehist() won't let me pass the ylab argument. It gives me the error Error in plot.default(xlim, c(0, ymax), type = "n", xlab = xlab, ylab =

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

Hi, I wanted to plot the histogram of a vector and then, plot the density function of subsets of the vector on the histogram. So I use truehist in MASS package and lines(density) as follows: length(b) = 1000 truehist(b) lines(density(b[1:100])) however the density plot of the first 100 points exceeds the max of y axis (see attached). how is it possible to make a graphics so that the density plot

rdevel from yesterday, also in 1.9.1 (Debian, -3). The man page of 'hist' (from the graphics package, obtained by "?hist") suggests 'truehist' under "see also", but 'truehist' isn't loaded by default (a sensible "of course"), so that "?truehist" fails. One can do help.search(), of course, which points what to do, but leads to my

Dear Colleagues, I am attempting to develop an optimization routine for a river suspended sediment mixing model. I have Calcium and Magnesium concentrations (%) for sediments from 4 potential source areas (Topsoil, Channel Banks, Roads, Drains) and I want to work out, based on the suspended sediment calcium and magnesium concentrations, what are the optimal contributions from each source area to

Hi there, # Consider the following example: A = 19 B = 20 A< B A==B hist(c(1:15,B,50),breaks=c(0,15,A,50),plot=F)$count hist(c(1:15,A,50),breaks=c(0,15,B,50),plot=F)$count # I was expecting the same results with the following values of A and B: A = 19.6019203953960 B = 19.6019204365543 A< B A==B hist(c(1:15,B,50),breaks=c(0,15,A,50),plot=F)$count# wrong

>selectiris<-sample(1:5, 150, replace=T) > hist(selectiris, plot=TRUE) #freq=TRUE, breaks=5, etc all do the same thing >truehist(selectiris) Is the behavior of "hist" in this sample of code correct. On my system (Windows 2K, SP2) the first and second bars are pushed together, while the 3rd, 4th, and 5th bars are correctly positioned. The function "truehist"

Dear People, I have a data set of data x from a probability distribution, and I have a function, mydensity, of the pdf of that distribution. I'm asking for help in superimposing the histogram of x and the plot of mydensity. In the function below, I call truehist and curve, but these are plotted in different figures. I'd like them to be plotted on the same figure, and to use common

hi all : i have the data below and then below that, i call the hist function three times using the Scott method for the widths of the bins. the bin width is different for the three histograms but I would like it to always be 0.05 regfardless of the data set being histogrammed. I'm sure there must be a manual way to do this which is fine with me. i tried breaks=0.05 but it wasn't happy
