Hi R-help: I'm just an old guy and new to this list... But have been using R for years now. I want to make a map of counties in the US with shaded colors that depend on the level of variable "Y" that I want to map. I have the US county and state fips codes and the Y variable. How do I do this? Please reply to pzs6@cdc.gov Thanks, Phil Smith pzs6@cdc.gov [[alternative HTML

Hi R-Help: I want to produce a map of the US with different colors for selected states. I installed the map package, and then used: library(maps) I can see that by using map( 'state' ) you get the state boundaries, also. How do I fill in different colors for the different states? I see there is a col parameter for map, but can't see how to get it to work! Please reply

Hi R-ers: I'm drawing a plot and have used different line types (lty) for different race/ethnicity groups. I want a legend that explains what line types correspond to the different race/ethnicity groups. I used the following code: legend( 1992 , 42 , c("Hispanic" , "non-Hispanic white (NHW)" , "non-Hispanic black" , "AI/AN" , "Asian" ) ,

Hi R Community: I want to take the difference in two dates: dt2 - dt1. But, I want the answer in months between those 2 dates. Can you advise me? Please respond to: pzs6 at cdc.gov Thank you! Phil Smith Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Hi R people: I'm trying to set the dimnames of a data frame called "ests" and am having trouble! First, I check to see if "ests" is a data.frame... > is.data.frame( ests ) [1] TRUE ... and it is a data frame! Next, I try to assign dimnames to that data frame.... > dimnames( ests )[[ 1 ]] <- as.character( ests$stfips ) Error in

Hi R-people: I need a function to compute the number of months between 2 dates, in the same way a mother would do it. For example, if a kid is born on February 6, the number of months between that date and March 7 is exactly 1 month, although it is only 29 days. Thank you!

Thank you for your guys reply for my previous question. But I got one more question about the boxplot. With the code in the R-help: boxplot(len ~ dose, data = ToothGrowth, boxwex = 0.25, at = 1:3 - 0.2, subset = supp == "VC", col = "yellow", main = "Guinea Pigs' Tooth Growth", xlab = "Vitamin C dose mg", ylab =

Dear List, ? I am creating a boxplot with two subsets, very similar to the example by Roger Bivand at ?boxplot (reproduced below).? I am trying to change the labels on the x-axis to have one number to cover both subsets.? I can do this in other plots by using axis=FALSE followed by a separate axis() command.? I have also tried variations in the names= argument but can't get it to work.?

Hello, I have a couple more questions about boxplots. In the books I've read on statistics (I'm not a statistics expert but just a poor engineer trying to help his wife with the analysis of the data she gathered for her medieval history PhD), I seen two kinds of box plots: one using quartiles to determine the height of the rectangles and whiskers which is what the standard R boxplot does,

Dear list, How can I add the mean and standard deviation to each of the boxplots using the example provided in the boxplot function? boxplot(len ~ dose, data = ToothGrowth, boxwex = 0.25, at = 1:3 - 0.2, subset = supp == "VC", col = "yellow", main = "Guinea Pigs' Tooth Growth", xlab = "Vitamin C dose mg",

Hi ,everyone. I want to draw a boxplot figure, main script shown as below. when I run the command "boxplot(bjavee~yearname)",it is wrong with the error information " model.frame.default(formula = bjavee ~ yearname) : variation 'bjavee' list is wrong". I want to add the yearname as the x-axis tick. And yearname is a array with the length 12,while bjavee is a 5*12

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,

Hi folks, Win7 64bit R 1.12.0 I run following command on R:- > ToothGrowth > attach(ToothGrowth) > plot(dose,len) > matrics=lm(len~dose) > abline(metrics) Error in int_abline(a = a, b = b, h = h, v = v, untf = untf, ...) : plot.new has not been called yet Only a grey diagram is displayed without content > plot(abline(metrics)) Error in int_abline(a = a, b = b, h = h, v

Dear all How does one resolve the variance between the actual availability of data sets in the default implementation with those mentioned in the documentation? I am unable to attach some of the datasets, even though help() is available for the same datasets. For example, "ToothGrowth" is a dataset that is widely mentioned in the documentation as being part of the base install.

hi List and Manuel, I have encounter the following problem with the function "lineplot.CI".? I'm running R 2.10.1, sciplot 1.0-7 on Win XP.? It seems like it's a scoping issue, but I couldn't figure it out. Thanks! ...Tao > lineplot.CI(x.factor = dose, response = len, data = ToothGrowth)??? ## fine > lineplot.CI(x.factor = dose, response = len, data = ToothGrowth,

Hi to all, Does anybody knows why this is giving an error? data(ToothGrowth) # Two-way design with options bargraph.CI(dose, len, group = supp, data = ToothGrowth, xlab = "Dose", ylab = "Growth", cex.lab = 1.5, x.leg = 1, col = "black", angle = 45, cex.names = 1.25, density = c(0,20), legend = TRUE) Error in dn.call[[1]] :

Hi folks Run; > ToothGrowth > attach(ToothGrowth) > toothgrowth=lm(len~dose) adding abline: > abline(toothgrowth) I got it done adding single abline. How to add more ablines on the same diagram?

Hi all, I I need to manipulate the x axis in a stripchart. I will use one of the data sets included in R to explain what I need to do. attach(ToothGrowth) stripchart(len[supp=='VC']~dose[supp=='VC'], vertical=TRUE, group.names=c('A','A','A')) stripchart(len[supp=='OJ']~dose[supp=='OJ'], add=TRUE, vertical=TRUE, at=c(1:3)+.1,
