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

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, 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

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]]

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?

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:

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, It seems that hist() has a buggy behavior when breaking over "days". The bug can be reproduced in a few steps: > d=data.frame(date=c("2009-01-01", "2009-01-02", "2009-01-02")) > d$date=as.Date(d$date) > d$date [1] "2009-01-01" "2009-01-02" "2009-01-02" > h=hist(d$date, "days") > h$count [1] 3

Hi, I've had some trouble figuring out how to produce a histogram in R directly given a frequency table or relative frequency table. I've looked through the documentation and mailing list, and have only found information on producing histograms given the original data set. Any help would be appreciated! An example of what I'd like to do would be to take the following frequency table:

Hi, I'm plotting a multiple histogram using the function multhist {package plotrix}, something like: library(plotrix) mh <- list(rnorm(200, mean=200, sd=50), rnorm(200, mean=250, sd=50)) multhist(mh) In this graph y-axis represents the frequency of observations.... but I would like it to be scaled into relative frequencies, does anybody know how to do this with multhist or similar

Dear: I want to plot barplot and let bar be in the middle of each x axis category. Do you have this experience? Many Thanks! Xin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear Dr. Sarkar, When I try to run the codes, I found the following problem: > h<- sample(1:14, 319, rep=T) > c<- sample(1:14, 608, rep=T) > n<- sample(1:14, 1140, rep=T) > vt<-c(h, c, n) > ta<-rep(c("h", "c", "n"), c(319, 608, 1140)) > > to<-data.frame(vt,ta) > library(lattice) Attaching package: 'lattice'

Hello! Up to now I have been using hist() to display the distributions. Howevere, I noteiced strange numbers on y (vertical) axis, if I used probability = T or freq = F option. I thought it is a bug and launched the R-bug system and found some posts on that matter. Brian Ripley responded to one, that one should look at truehist() for that. Ok I can use truehist() if I want to see the ratios

Hi, I try to make a histogram from a variable that contains the number of shoots from about 1000 individuals from a specific plant species (the range is 1-110). Those numbers are highly skewed to the right. My question is: how can I make my own classes with the lattice "histogram"? I tried it with "breaks=c(0,5,10,15,20,25,110)" but my "25-110"-class is presented

Hi Folks, I'm wondering if there are people out there who would be interested in what would be involved in developing an interface between R graphics and the 'pic' language. Explanation; 'pic' has been part of the Unix 'troff' typesetting suite since very early days (1970s), and also of the GNU troff: 'groff'. Its function is to act as a preprocessor,

Hi there, I'm pretty new to the field of fitting (anything). I try to fit a distribution with mle, because my real data seems to follow a zero-inflated poisson distribution. So far, I tried a simple example to see whether I understand how to do it or not: # example count data x <- 0:10 y <- dpois(x, lambda = 1.4) # zero-inflated poisson zip <- function(x, lambda, prop) { (1 -

Dear Rusers, I would like to color different sections of a histogram different colors. I have an example that was done by "brute force" given below. Has anyone implemented something like this in general? If not, any suggestions/pointers on how to write a general function to do so would be most appreciated. Alan-
