similar to: Strange horns on notched box plots

Hello, I'm using the code below to generate some notched box plots. The issue is whenever I use log scale, the sides of the bottom part of the box plots don't plot. I've tried it in RStudio Ver 1.1.419 and R version 3.4.3 and I get the same result. The code and link to my data is below. Thank you for your time David MyData <-

PR #7690 points out that if the confidence intervals (+/-1.58 IQR/sqrt(n)) in a boxplot with notch=TRUE are larger than the hinges -- which is most likely to happen for small n and asymmetric distributions -- the resulting plot is ugly, e.g.: set.seed(1001) npts <- 5 X <- rnorm(2*npts,rep(3:4,each=npts),sd=1) f <- factor(rep(1:2,each=npts)) boxplot(X~f) boxplot(X~f,notch=TRUE) I can

Hey hey, I`m analyzing a data set containing the element contentrations of various samples... I wanted to construct notched boxplots and got quite ugly results for some of the boxplots. The notches are often larger then the hinges which resulted in weird looking edges (even though I`m using a log-boxplot). To avoid this problem I thought about using "normal" log-boxplots and adding some

A function I've been using for a while returned a surprising [to me, given the data] error recently: Error in plot.window(xlim, ylim, log, asp, ...) : Logarithmic axis must have positive limits After some digging I realized what was going on: x <- c(10460.97, 10808.67, 29499.98, 1, 35818.62, 48535.59, 1, 1, 42512.1, 1627.39, 1, 7571.06, 21479.69, 25, 1, 16143.85, 12736.96,

Sorry to repost this, but it looks like it's getting buried in r-help (originally posted October 5: my experience says that if it hasn't been answered by then it won't be). I wouldn't bother, but I'm worried that r-devel might be better, *and* a previous e-mail of mine on the subject in January also seemed to get buried. Synopsis: boxplot notches look weird when notches are

Dear List, I just googled to find out if notched box plots are possible with ggplot2, but couldn't find a answer to it. boxplot() has the option: notch = TRUE, e.g.: boxplot(mpg$hwy, notch=TRUE) My example code (taken from the net) is: require(ggplot2) qplot(class, hwy, fill=factor(year), data=mpg, geom="boxplot", position="dodge")+theme_bw() Thank you for you help!

Dear list members, Can anyone tell me how the notches in boxplot(Y~X,notch=T) are calculated? What do these notches represent exactly? I?d suppose they are Conficence Intervals for the median, but I?ve also been told they might show Least Significant Difference (LSD) equivalents. I would very much appreciate any help from you. Best regards Chris.

Dear all, I am trying to add error bars on a boxplot but have encountered an error as indicated below. Is there a package I need to install or a library I have to load before this goes please. Thanks for any idea. Ogbos x<-replicate(20,rnorm(50)) boxplot(x,notch=TRUE,main="Notched boxplot with error bars") error.bars(x,add=TRUE) Error: could not find function "error.bars"

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

Is there a way to modify the choice of notch size [1] in R's boxplot routine from outlining a 5% significance region, to say 1% or lower? Thanks, Alex [1] McGill, Tukey, and Larsen. "Variations of Box Plots", The American Statistician, Vol. 32, No. 1, 12-16.

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

Hi, I'm looking for a way to get white boxplots on a black background. The following is insufficient because although the box is white, I can't figure out how to change the whisker color to white. x <- rnorm(100) par(bg = "black") boxplot(x) boxplot(x, col = "white", notch=T) Is there no way to specify inverse colors and then not change background etc.? I'm

I'm having problems using the date library with notched boxplots. I have separate month, day, and year columns and would like to plot the columns as a date against other variables. I have used the mdy.date(month,day,year) command before with plot(), but it doesn't seem to work with boxplot(). Instead of the dates along the x-axis, I get a list of numbers. Maybe I have the code wrong?

Hi, I have data that looks like this: ASA1 ASA2 C1_C2 C M 9.0225 S S 2.4315 M C 3.4894 M S 4.5282 C M 1.3183 C S 1.3735 S C 1.0488 S M 7.948 M C 4.5827 I need to plot Boxplots for a given ASA1 (either C,S, or M) with respect to C1_C2. However, instead of one boxplot I want to plot

Good Afternoon- I was wanting to alter the boxplot to remove the lower whisker, both the whisker line and staple just on the lower end. Is there a way to do this? As my code is currently: boxplot(log_loads~ind,data=nfmaum, horizontal=TRUE, notch=T, outline=FALSE, whisker=0, main="Maumee River Near Future Climate Scenarios", ylab="Log Load",xlab="Climate Scenarios")

Hello everyone, I'm new to R and made my 1st notched box plots this weekend. I've read some of the other post regarding adding means to box plots but I'm still having problems. I've looked at some of the other discussions and R News Volume 3/2, October 2003 which had info also but all these seem to address "groups" of data. I have some rainfall pH data from

Dear r-helpers, tst <- data.frame(as.numeric(x <- 1:20), f <- rep(c('hi','lo'), times = 10)) with(tst, bwplot(f ~ x, panel = function(x, y){panel.bwplot(x, y, pch = '|', stats = boxplot.stats, fill = 8, varwidth = T)})) I can't figure out from the documentation how to tell stats that I would like to see notches or (even bands). Here is what I've

Dear all, I am a total beginner in R, so sorry if this is the wrong place. I am using R 2.10.1 on a Mac (Mac OS 10.6.2). I have this small dataset : growth sugar 75 C 72 C 73 C 61 F 67 F 64 F 62 S 63 S I have no problem reading the table, or getting the summary, but if I try boxplot(growth~sugar, ylab="growth", xlab="sugar", data=Dataset), I have the following error :

hi, i'm using /"boxplot()"/ to show some data: x <- c(0.99, 0.97, 0.91, 0.72, 1.00, 0.99, 1.02, 0.90, 0.91, 0.90, 1.02, 0.90, 1.35, 1.01, 0.92) boxplot(x) is it correct when i say: /"Boxes represent interquartile ranges (IQRs); bold horizontal lines, medians; whiskers, lowest and highest values still within 1.5 x IQR; open circles, outliers."? /thanks in advance

That's not really a reprex Sibylle.? I did try to use it to see if I could work out what you were trying to do and help but there is so much in there that I suspect is distraction from the notch issue and its error message. Please can you give us something stripped of all unecessary things and tell us what you want? Something like data that we can read as a tribble() or from a dput() of
