similar to: how to draw a perspective pyramid

Hi, I've been looking at ways to make pyramid plots in R. I like the pyramid.plot method in plotrix as it seems the simplest to use and building them in ggplot looks a bit more code intensive than I'd like, being as I'm new to R. This package does pretty much what I need it to do, however I can't seem to scale the x axis labels. The other labels scale fine with labelcex. I

Hi all Another question related to my earlier -- how might I get transparency to work with pyramid.plot in library(plotrix)? I can't figure it out, and the help page says it is there but doesn't give an example. Thanks!

Hi all, I cannot think of the technical name of this plot, but I want to create a plot with the data below that looks like two back-to-back horizontal bar plots. Ideally, there would be a vertical line in the center of the plot at zero, and on the right hand side would be 4 bars representing the values for 2007, and on the left side of the vertical line would be the corresponding values for 2005.

Hi All. I'd like to generate a sample of n observations from a k dimensional multivariate normal distribution with a random correlation matrix. My solution: The lower (or upper) triangle of the correlation matrix has n.tri=(d/2)(d+1)-d entries. Take a uniform sample of n.tri possible correlations (runi(n.tr,-.99,.99) Populate a triangle of the matrix with the sampled correlations Mirror the

I am using pyramid.plot() from the plotrix package. I have something like this ############################################ xy.pop<-dados$masfr xx.pop<-dados$femfr #agelabels<-dados$femlab xycol<-color.gradient(c(0,0,0.5,1),c(0,0,0.5,1),c(1,1,0.5,1),11) xxcol<-color.gradient(c(1,1,0.5,1),c(0.5,0.5,0.5,1),c(0.5,0.5,0.5,1),11) xylab<-dados$maslab xxlab<-dados$femlab

Hello R-users, I have a symmetric matrix of numerical values and I want to obtain those values in the upper or lower triangle of the matrix in a vector. I tried to do the job by using two for-loops but it doens't seem to be a clever way, and I'd like to know a more efficient code for a large matrix of thousands of rows and columns. Below is my code for your reference. Thanks a lot.

Two questions about matrix indexing: Is is correct that V <- V[lower.tri(V, diag=TRUE)] returns the lower triangular of matrix V, that is: all elements above diagonal are set to zero? I understand that the triangle of matrix elements of V for which lower.tri is TRUE are returned while the others (above diagonal) are set to zero (or NA ???). If D and B are vectors of logicals, what

This is really a question of how to program this *BETTER*. It works as I have done it, but is quite ugly. I want to do a 3d scatterplot of the upper triangle of a matrix, where the z-values are the values in the matrix, and the row and column indices are the y- and x-values. The complete (11 by 11) matrix is mmtop94.2. Here is my awkward code: mmtop94.2[lower.tri(mmtop94.2)] <- NA # Here i

Hello, I need to chenge axes orirentation in triangle plot. (function triangle.plot in ade4 package) I want to plot elasticities of some species in demographic triangle, where axes values commnly increace "clockwise". If some better imangination is needed, see http://www.open.ac.uk/science/biosci/personalpages/j.silvertown/pdfs/Silvertown%20et%20al.%201993.pdf I am sorry if I just

Dear R Users, Greetings! I am confused with an error message related to "plotrix" library in the newer versions of R. I used to run an R script without fail in the earlier versions (R 2.8.1) of R; but the same script is now throwing up an error message in the newer versions (Now I have R 2.13.0 & R 2.14.0). Herewith I am furnishing the same code for your perusal. It would

Dear all, I have two data frames- x1 and y1 with same row names and column names(actually the names of the patients). x1 a b c d e a 1.0000000 0.4730679 0.6226994 0.6036036 0.6433333 b 0.4730679 1.0000000 0.6227273 0.6303855 0.5730858 c 0.6226994 0.6227273 1.0000000 0.7290503 0.6900585 d 0.6036036 0.6303855 0.7290503 1.0000000

Hi, I hope somebody can help me with this issue: I am doing population pyramids using the barplot command, so in the left side I have male age structure and in the right side the female age structure. To plot the male age structure I put the data in negative numbers. Now, I want to change the sign in the bar plot in such way that I have no-sign numbers, both in left and right side of the graph. I

from ?eigen symmetric: if 'TRUE', the matrix is assumed to be symmetric (or Hermitian if complex) and only its lower triangle is used. If 'symmetric' is not specified, the matrix is inspected for symmetry. I think that could mislead a naive reader as it suggests that, with symmetric=TRUE, the result of eigen() (vectors and values) depends only on

I have output from a program which produces a distance matrix I want to read into a clustering program in R. The output is a .txt file and is 'almost' lower triangular in the sense that it is just the triangle below the diagonal. So for example a 4-by-4 distance matrix appears as, 1 2 3 4 5 6 i.e. it looks like a lower triangular of a 3-by3. I thought I might be able

Hi, I am trying to use function pairs to plot the scatterplot, but I only want to keep the upper triangle, what's the argument to do this? Thanks, -Jack [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I want to compute the lower triangle of a square matrix (optionally, sans diagonal). With for() loops I can do something like this: ## 5 by 5 matrix rtn for (j in 1:5) { for (k in 1:j) { if (j != k) { ## optional rtn[j, k] <- my.func(j, k) } } } I'd like to do this with apply(). Is there some way I can do this kind of 'short-circuit'? Thanks, Mark Wilkinson

Is there a simple way to decompose the upper triangle of a correlation matrix to a linear list; For example: X Y Z X 1 2 3 Y 2 1 4 Z 3 4 1 so you get a list like: xy 2 XZ 3 YZ 4 I suspect you can do it with a matrix transformation, but that beyond me at present.

Dear all, mydata<-data.frame(x1=c(1,4,6),x2=c(3,1,2),x3=c(2,1,3)) cor(mydata) x1 x2 x3 x1 1.0000000 -0.5960396 0.3973597 x2 -0.5960396 1.0000000 0.5000000 x3 0.3973597 0.5000000 1.0000000 I wonder if it is possible to fill only lower triangle of this correlation matrix? Using 'dist' doesn't seem to be useful as it doesnt allow to convert this table

Hello, I want to create a triangular matrix and only keep the lower triangle entries without having to allocate memory for the whole matrix, is there any way I can do something like  A<-matrix(data, nrow=50)  but for a triangular matrix? Thanks ERV [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
