similar to: Histogram from frequency table?

Hello, all; I get an unexpected result when trying to plot a probability histogram with R1.9.1 on windows xp: #with the following code: > x <- runif(100,0,1) > hist(x) > hist(x, freq=F) > h <- hist(x, freq=F) > summary(h) # Length Class Mode #breaks 11 -none- numeric #counts 10 -none- numeric #intensities 10 -none- numeric #density 10

Dear All, I am a undergraduate using R for the first time. It seems like an excellent program and one that I look forward to using a lot over the next few years, but I have hit a very basic problem that I can't solve. I want to produce a standardised histogram, i.e. one where the area under the graph is equal to 1. I look at the manual for the histogram function and find this: freq:

Hi there, I hope this question is not as stupid as the one before ... I tried to shorten my histogram (because the distribution is quite skewed and I simply don't want to see the long tail but still use the histogram plot). How can I do something like this? (The example does not work but I don't know why...) data <- rnorm(100) # as example, of course this is not skewed... h <-

Hello, I have a problem with the hist() function and showing densities. The densities sum to 50 and not to 1! I use R version 2.9.1 (2009-06-26) and I load the seqinR library. My data is the following vector: [1] 0.1400000 0.2000000 0.2200000 0.2828283 0.1600000 0.1600000 0.3600000 [8] 0.1600000 0.2200000 0.2600000 0.2000000 0.3000000 0.2200000 0.2342342 [15] 0.1800000 0.2200000 0.1600000

Hi, Currently I have a density plot generated with this snippet. Is there a way I can add a line curve on top of it? I mean in one figure __BEGIN__ myhist <- hist(x col="blue", main = "Density Plot", xlab = "Exp Level", ) __END__ - Gundala Viswanath Jakarta - Indonesia

Hi, I have a large amount of data that I would like to create a histogram of and plot and do things with in R. It is pretty much impossible to read the data into R, so I have written a program to bin the data and now have a list of counts in each bin. Is it possible to somehow import this into R and use hist(), so I can, for instance, plot the probability density? I have looked at the help page

Hi all, I am trying to find a way to rename R objects with names pulled from a vector of names. For example, I have a data frame, my.data.frame, and a list of names, my.names. My.names is simply the column names of my.data.frame. I want save the histogram with the column name as the name of the object. for (i in 1:ncol(my.data.frame) { tmp<-hist(my.data.frame[,i])

Hi, I have a casting/formatting question on hist.POSIXt: The histogram plot from POSIXct works perfect (with help of Prof. Ripley -thanks!). When processing the hist(plot=FALSE) output and then plotting the results over the x-axis (bins) coming from hist(), I lose the date/time labels, getting instead integers displayed. Trying to cast the $breaks with as.POSIXct gives silly results with

I have two large datasets (156K and 2.06M records). Each row has the hour that an event happened, represented by an integer from 0 to 23. R's histogram is combining some data. Here's the command I ran to get the histogram: > histinfo <- hist(crashes$hour, right=FALSE) Here's histinfo: > histinfo $breaks ?[1] ?0 ?1 ?2 ?3 ?4 ?5 ?6 ?7 ?8 ?9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

Hello all, I'm trying to make a histogram of the data contained in my dataframe. The summary of the data gives me exactly what I want summary (Data) V1 V2 first001: 3 last001: 9 first002: 3 last002: 7 first003: 2 last003: 6 (Other) :52 (Other): 27 But how do I capture the names and values in vectors so I can plot them?

i want to plot the histogram and the curve in the same graph.if i have a set of data ,i plot the histogram and also want to see what distribution it was.So i want to plot the curve to know what distribution it like. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/how-to-plot-the-histogram-and-the-curve-in--the-same-graph-tp20082506p20082506.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at

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:

With R and the hist function, is there a way to make a histogram in which the y axis denotes propotion with respect to a separate sample dataset of the same range instead of frequency? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have what may be a simple/foolish question, but I've done the due diligence and looked through pages of posts here as well as several of the PDFs on the CRAN site, but haven't been able find what I'm after. I am working with a list of say 3 histogram objects A, B & C, and each histogram is a list of 7 elements. I would like to access $name, the 6th element, of histograms A,B and

Hi! I'm having a trouble changing font size of histogram label. I have tried help(hist), but I couldn't find anything explain how to fix label's font size. Could you help me please?

Hi All, I want to use "hist" to get the relative frequency plot. But the range of ylab is greater than 1,which I think it should be less than 1 since it stands for the probability. Here is my code: x<-c(1,1,1,0,0,1,1,5,1,1,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,4,1,0,2,1,1,1 ,1,1,0,0,1,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1)

Hello, I have created two histograms with: hist2d(gps2, nbins=200, col = c("white",heat.colors(16))) Both of them have the same range and the same number of bins. Now I would like to compare them bin by bin and plot the results. Could someone please tell me how to do that. I searched the man pages and the web, but couldn't find anything. Thank you very much. Phil

I have read a frequency table in to R called "temp." I now want to create a histogram table from it, but I obviously first have to expand the data - to the sample size of 100. I want to use the command rep(), but I'm not sure how to go about it..I tried using the code: temp1<-rep(temp$Chest,100) hist(temp1) But this creates a v. odd histogram so I know it must be wrong!

Hello, To indicate probability densities instead of counts on a histogram, I specify freq = FALSE. However, I expect that summing all top y coordinates over all the intervals of the histogram will provide 1. 1) v <- c(0.2885, 0.2988, 0.3139, 0.2615, 0.3179, 0.3163, 0.2583, 0.3052, 0.2527, 0.3147, 0.3235, 0.2408, 0.2480, 0.3108, 0.3577, 0.2829, 0.2694, 0.3275, 0.3314, 0.2639, 0.3076,

Hello, This is a problem for which there seem to be several solutions online, but not really. My question was about plotting a curve over the histogram. All the previous posts and messages talk about generating a *density histogram*using (freq=F) and then plotting the density curve. However, I find that that seriously distorts my data and the plot becomes confounding to the viewer. I was
