similar to: adding the mean and standard deviation to boxplots

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.?

Hi, sorry for bothering your guys. I will trying to make some nice graph using boxplot. when I check the help file of boxplot, there is a sample code as: boxplot(len ~ dose, data = ToothGrowth, add = TRUE, boxwex = 0.25, at = 1:3 + 0.2, subset = supp == "OJ", col = "orange") legend(2, 9, c("Ascorbic acid", "Orange juice"),

Basically, i want to create a boxplot from population data, with a solid line for the median, and then a dotted line for a specific persons value. Is there a way to artificially introduce another line or mark of some kind in a box plot? Thanks again for all of yoru help. Hopefully soon I wont have to keep bugging you all. ~Erithid :-p

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,

Hi, I'd like to change the y-tickmarks of a boxplot. But it doesn't work with yaxp (like I would do it in a plot-function). Can someone help me out?

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 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,

Is it possible to add standard error bars to the means on interaction plots? Thanks Murray -- Murray Pung Statistician, Datapharm Australia Pty Ltd 0404 273 283 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I'm trying to plot a scatterplot of two variables using pch to plot different characters based on a third factor. Here is my example > data("ToothGrowth") > attach(ToothGrowth) > levels(supp) [1] "OJ" "VC" > plot(len ~ dose,pch=as.numeric(supp)) > legend(locator(1),pch=as.numeric(supp),legend=levels(supp)) The command as.numeric(supp) returns 2 2

Here is a question from an old guy: I want to use the boxplot function as follows: boxplot( p.prop ~ R + bins ) This command makes nice boxplot for the factor "R" crossed with the factor "bins". I am having alot of trouble getting control of the labels on the X axis. I want to control it more by specifying what the labels are, controling the 'size' of those

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]] :

Dear all I have written a function to perform a very simple but useful task which I do regularly. It is designed to show how many values are missing from each variable in a data.frame. In its current form it works but is slow because I have used several loops to achieve this simple task. Can anyone see a more efficient way to get the same results? Or is there existing function which does

Hello, I am new to R and currently have the following problem: I have successfully loaded my data in R which consists of two numeric columns (LI_F and female) and one character column (Strain). So far I can plot two different set of boxplots for each of the numeric columns plotted by the groups of the character column and the commands look like that: boxplot(LI_F~Strain, ylab="LI_F",

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.

I'm using xyplot to generate a trellis plot with each panel containing a scatterplot and a best fit line. Is it possible to write the slope of the best fit line in each panel? -- Alan S Barnett <asb at mail.nih.gov> NIMH/CBDB

Dear all, I want to plot 8 chemical variables in the same plot. I have used the interaction.plot command: > interaction.plot(speclong$Date,speclong$time2,speclong$outcome,xaxt="n",type="l",pch=20,xlab="", log="y", ylab="Concentration (ug/L)",trace.label="",col=rainbow(8)) However, what it gives me is dotted lines and the colours are

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 there, I am a beginner. I would like to change the error bars in the bargraph.CI function from the default (se) to (sd). The help file says ci.fun= function(x) c(fun(x)-se(x), fun(x)+se(x)) Is there a simple way of telling the function what (x) precisely is - I already define in in the of the bargraph.CI function and assume that is should be able to use that information. cheers, Herwig --

Hello, When using bargraph.CI in package sciplot can the bars for each group be different colors? How do I select the color for each group? When I use this instead of the default (SD vs SE): bargraph.CI(x.factor = dose, response = len, data = ToothGrowth, ci.fun= function(x) c(mean(x)-sd(x), mean(x) + sd(x)) ) Am I getting 95% CI bars?
