similar to: boxplot - label outliers

I have a data frame containing columns which are factors. I use this to make boxplots for the data, with one box per factor. I would now like to get at the data in the data frame which corresponds to the outliers. I have so far found the $out, which gives "the values of any data points which lie beyond the extremes of the whiskers", but I haven't found anything which will let me get

For boxplot(), is it possible to pass in a parameter to change the default way that the 1st and 3rd quartiles are computed? (specifically, I'd like to use type 6 described in the quantile function). Also, what are the options for how outliers are computed, and how can one change them? Thank you [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

dear all, could somebody tell me how I can plot mild outliers as a circle(?) and extreme outliers as an asterisk(*) in a box-whisker plot?

My box plot below is drawing its upper whisker all the way to the last point, instead of showing the point as an outlier. Am I misunderstanding, or is it a bug? Help(boxplot) states for the parameter ?range? that ?this determines how far the plot whiskers extend out from the box. If range is positive, the whiskers extend to the most extreme data point which is no more than range times the

Another naive stats question. I'm trying to better understand what boxplots are telling me. I think what I see is the median and the boundaries of the 1st and 3rd quartiles. The whiskers represent the range of the data unless there are points which are outside "range" (default: 1.5) times the distance from the median to that quartile. Is that right? I've read the

Hello to all users and wizards. I am regulary using 'boxplot' function or its analogue - 'bwplot' from the 'lattice' library. But they are, as far as I understand, totally flawed in functionality: they miss ability to select what they would draw 'in the middle' - median, mean. What the box means - standard error, 90% or something else. What the whiskers mean -

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, I tried to use boxplot function. I am following the ?boxplot and can change the whisker box width using lwd parameter. However, when outline=TRUE, the thickness of the circle of the outliers is not proportionally changed when I change the line width of the whisker box. There must be another parameter for that. Unfortunately I don't know. please help and thanks much in advance. --

I really like the ease of use with the boxplot command in R. I would rather have a boxplot that shows the average value and the standard deviation then the median value and the quartiles. Is there a way to do this?

Hi, I'm working with a data.frame containing values between 0 and 22000. Most of the values are actually between 0 and 50 and the high ones are outliers. I want to generate a boxplot and since the outliers are extremely high, I need to scale the y scale logarithmically. Otherwise one wouldn't really see the boxes of the boxplot. boxplot(dat, log="y", ylim=c(0,

Junto con saludar, Quer?a saber si los que han usado boxplot.stats, saben como ubicar los resultados que arroja como "out" (outliers) directamente en la base de datos, ya que, muestra los resultados en valor de cada dato at?pico. Por ejemplo, estoy usando una base de datos con 300 datos y 10 columnas, en este caso estoy buscando los datos at?picos de la columna del precio de x

Hi all, I have 6 datasets(dataframes Assem_ContigsLen7 through all_ContigsLen12) containing 3 columns (contig_id, contig_length, read_count). Each dataset is composed of 3 types of contigs (assemblies of genomic fragments), 1- all Bacterial fragments, 2 - all Viral fragments, 3 - mixed fragments. I identified the type of contig through a merge with another table with just contig_id and

How are the lower/upper whiskers defined in the default version of boxplot {graphics}? I tried help(boxplot) and searching www.rseek.org, but I was unable to determine an absolute answer. I checked out the definition of boxplot according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot), but it also had several approaches listed for how the whiskers could be determined, so I'm just

In a Box and Whisker plot, I thought that when there are outliers both abov= e and below the whiskers, then the whiskers should both be the same length = (plus or minus 1.5 times the inter-quartile range). If you look at the plot for SilwoodWeather on p.155 of The R Book you will = see that for November (month =3D 11) the upper whisker is shorter than the = lower, while for other months with

Hello all, I wrote a small function to add labels for outliers in a boxplot. This function will only work on a simple boxplot/formula command (e.g: something like boxplot(y~x)). Code + example follows in this e-mail. I'd be happy for any suggestions on how to improve this code, for example: - Handle boxplot.matrix (which shouldn't be too hard to do) - Handle cases of complex

Hi Is there a way to lable (e.g. observation-number) the outliers in a boxplot? and in a bwplot? thanks a lot Christoph P.S. identify() is not available with bwplot, is it?

How to calculate the boxplots R? This question arises because we are building manually boxplots, we consulted various literature sources for calculations of the boxplot but our results differ from those generated by R, especially when calculating the whiskers. What is the procedure used by R to perform these calculations? Anyone can help us please? -- View this message in context:

Dear List, I'd like to make boxplots of a large number of observations (+/- 20.000), which are distributed log-normal and right skewed. The problem is that with standard boxplots a too large number of observations are displayed as outliers. I also tried to display the log of the observations, but even then there are to may outliers to my taste. So I'd like to change the standard IQR box

Dear R-users, Following is part of my data, where slide has 36 levels and block 48 levels. I have done boxplot for each slide on the same graph. There are outliers for each slide and I tried to use indentify functtion to identify outliers in such a way that when I click on an outlier or point, the points will be labelled by either their block or ID or by both but without success. How can I make
