similar to: Getting Break Points From Hist Function?

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:

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

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 <-

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

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

Hi all, I'm trying to superimpose a rchisq density line over a histogram with something like: hist(alnlength) lines(density(rchisq(length(alnlength), 4)),col="red") But the rchisq line won't appear anywhere, Anyone knows what I am missing here? Thanks in advance, Albert.

I think there are a couple of things in ?hist that are not quite as clear as they could be. (1) freq: logical; if 'TRUE', the histogram graphic is a representation of frequencies, the 'counts' component of the result; if 'FALSE', _relative_ frequencies ("probabilities"), component 'density', are plotted. Defaults to

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]]

Hi there, I am wanting to create 8 side-by-side histograms which have been rotated 90 degrees clockwise from how they usually sit.. all with the same scales. Is someone able to help me out?

hist() is designed so that the total area sums to 1. You should build you desired behavior using a barchart. ?

Can someone help me with a misunderstanding I'm having with hist? I expected, from the example below, that the number of bins would always be 10 and the length of the counts array the same. According to the help section 'breaks' can be a integer indicating the number of bins. From the example below, the number of bins (length of the counts array) varies. Am I wrong in expecting the

Hi, I have the following code: hist(gps$heartpercent, breaks=5) rect(90, par("usr")[3], 100, par("usr")[4], col = "red") How do I get the rectangle to appear behind the histogram. Barring that, how can I make certain bars of the histogram to be a certain color? Thanks, Jason

Hi R users, My goal is to rank my samples according to how they fall out in a histogram with 10 bins to produce a ranking for each sample according to where it falls on the histogram, with a "1" to represent one tail of the hist, a "10" to represent the other tail, and a "5" for the median/mean. I have a number of different data sets to do this with and in all cases

Full_Name: Mark Wall Version: 1.6.0 OS: linux Submission from: (NULL) (63.251.119.254) I want to plot a histogram of a *subset* of some data: >t = c(0:9) >hist(t,right=FALSE,breaks=10,xlim=c(0,5),xaxs="i") This means I should plot a histogram from 0 to 5 with breaks at 1,2,3,4. This should produce exactly 5 bars of frequency=1. Instead I get 5 and 1/4 bars. I do not want the

. I am looking for a histogram or box plot with the adding normal distribution curve I think that must be possible, but I am not able to find out how to do. Regards Knut

Dear List, I have the following function where I plot on one page a histogram and a boxplot. I use option labels = TRUE in hist to show labels. However the label on the highest bar in the histogram is not showing entirely. How can I correct this? Thanks for any suggestions? histtst <- function(n = 100,...){ set.seed(15) # makes rnorm reproducible par(mfrow = c(2,1)) x <-

Hi, I am trying to plot a histogram with my dataset that has 68 elements, 67 of which are zero and the last one is 18. It can be reproduced as follows: x<-array(0, dim=(68)) x[1] = 18 I am trying to plot its histogram using: hist(x, breaks=10, xlim=c(0, 100), axes=F) axis(2, at=seq(0, 70, 5)) # for the y-axis axis(1, at=seq(0, 100, 10)) # for the x-axis As you would also see if you

Hello, How can I display the xlim of the boundaries of all or specific breaks in a histogram? I generated the attached plot with hist and would like to know which values of x correspond to the frequency 329 and display these values on the x axis? Best, carol
