similar to: Boxplot: quartiles/outliers

I am very new to R so forgive me if this seems basic but I have done extensive searching and failed to come up with the answer for myself. I am trying to label a boxplot I have created with the values for the median, upper and lower quartiles and max and min values. I have been unable to do this or find anything on the net to say how it might be done. Is this possible and if so how? Regards,

I really like the ease of use with the boxplot command in R. I would rather have a boxplot that shows the average value and the standard deviation then the median value and the quartiles. Is there a way to do this?

Hi All- I have 24 boxplots on one graph. I do not have the whiskers extending to the outliers, but I would like to label the maximum value of each outlier above the whiskers. I have the stats but am having trouble figuring out how to label the whiskers. Any suggestions would be great! sherri

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

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

I have read and reread the boxplot and the boxplot stats page, and I still cannot understand how and what boxplot shows. I realize that this might be due to me not knowing enough statistics, but anyway... First, how does boxplot determine the size of the box? And is the line inside the box the mean or the median (or something completely different?) And how does it determine how long out 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

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

Dear R-users, I have two outliers related questions. I. I have a vector consisting of 69 values. mean = 0.00086 SD = 0.02152 The shape of EDA graphics (boxplots, density plots) is heavily distorted due to outliers. How to define the interval for outliers exception? Is <2SD - mean + 2SD> interval a correct approach? Or should I define 95% (or 99%) limit of agreement for data interval,

I have a data frame containing columns which are factors. I use this to make boxplots for the data, with one box per factor. I would now like to get at the data in the data frame which corresponds to the outliers. I have so far found the $out, which gives "the values of any data points which lie beyond the extremes of the whiskers", but I haven't found anything which will let me get

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

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

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?

Hello, I'm currently using a simple plot to visualize some mean values. I'm having ~200 datapoints on the x-axis, each has 10 records. I'm currently plotting only the mean value of each of the datapoints. What I need is a way to visualize the quartiles/error/whatever of these points. I thought about boxplots, but I have to many points on the xaxis - it would be impossible to see

Hello all, I wrote a small function to add labels for outliers in a boxplot. This function will only work on a simple boxplot/formula command (e.g: something like boxplot(y~x)). Code + example follows in this e-mail. I'd be happy for any suggestions on how to improve this code, for example: - Handle boxplot.matrix (which shouldn't be too hard to do) - Handle cases of complex

Dear Users Is there any way to generate lines instead of points for outliers in the boxplot function? Thanks AA. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I am a new user of R so please bear with me. I have reviewed some R books, FAQs and such but the volume of material is great. I am in the process of porting my current SAS and SVS Script code to Lotus Approach, R and WordPerfect. My question is, can you help me determine the best R method to implement the Hoaglin Outlier Method? It is used in the Appendix A and B of the fo llowing link.

Dear R-users, Following is part of my data, where slide has 36 levels and block 48 levels. I have done boxplot for each slide on the same graph. There are outliers for each slide and I tried to use indentify functtion to identify outliers in such a way that when I click on an outlier or point, the points will be labelled by either their block or ID or by both but without success. How can I make

Hi, I tried to use boxplot function. I am following the ?boxplot and can change the whisker box width using lwd parameter. However, when outline=TRUE, the thickness of the circle of the outliers is not proportionally changed when I change the line width of the whisker box. There must be another parameter for that. Unfortunately I don't know. please help and thanks much in advance. --
