Hello, I would like to inlude the Q-Q plot by "qqmath" into a panel with other plots, say, using par(mfrow=c(1,2)). How can this be done given that "qqmath" refreshes the plotting window and there seems to be no series coming out of it? Thanks Serguei [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R users: How can I use panel.qqmathline, in package lattice, to add straight lines onto the plots generated by qqmath? I read help pages of qqmath, panel.qqmathline, xyplot, ..., but just can't one example that shows how to make it work. For example, > data(sleep) > qqnorm(~ extra | group, data=sleep, aspect=1) how can I use panel.qqmathline? Thanks very much for your help,

Hello! I am trying with this question again: I would like to test few distributional assumptions for some behavioral response data. There are few theories about true distribution of those data, like: normal, lognormal, gamma, ex-Gaussian (exponential-Gaussian), Wald (inverse Gaussian) etc. The best way would be via qq-plot, to show to students differences. First two are trivial: qqnorm(dat$X)

I have been crashing R while using lattice. My system consists of a Mac Intel, R 2.5.1, lattice 0.15-5, and I plot through the default quartz. R crashes after plotting several lattice functions. Has anyone else encountered this problem and does anyone know the cause, or a solution? Is this a lattice:mac, lattice:quartz, Lattice:me issue? example... This crashes my system after plotting.

Hello, I want to do with Lattice functions (qqmath, histogram) a figure like this below. n <- 1000 x <- rnorm(n) qqnorm(x); qqline(x) op <- par(fig=c(.02,.5,.5,.98), new=TRUE) hist(x, xlab="", ylab="", main="", axes=FALSE) box() par(op) Is possible? Thanks. Walmes Zeviani. _________________________________________________________________

Referring to "Using R for Data Analysis and Graphics" by J H Maindonald, and available from the R site, I found the example on p.30 non-working: > stem(qqnorm(possum$hdlngth)) Error in stem(qqnorm(possum$hdlngth)) : 'x' must be numeric Since qqnorm(possum$hdlngth) plots, and > class(possum$hdlngth) [1] "numeric" , the problem must be here: >

Good Morning: I have attached a text file with one hundred thirty six observations. I would like to create a qq plot with the following features: 1. Observed values on the y-axis. 2. Normal approximation line on the plot. 3. X-axis with vertical reference lines at the following percentiles of the data: 1, 10, 20, 50, 80, 90 and 99. 4. Data appearing on the plot as distinct points. I assume that

Hello Everyone,   Learning about R and its wonderful array of functions. If it's not obvious, I usually try to find out what a function stands for. I think this helps me remember better.   One function that has me stumped is "sink." Can anyone tell me if this stands for something?   Thanks,   Paul         __________________________________________________ [[alternative HTML

Does the 'groups' option on qqmath just color the points differently in the main distribution or does it actually overlay separate quantile plots for each subset? I would like to be able to do the latter. --Rich Richard Kittler AMD TDG 408-749-4099

Hi all, Does anyone know how to plot overlapping qqnorm plots on the same window? Suppose I have data in the vector x and y: qqnorm(x) lines(qqnorm(y)) I though these two lines will do the job... However, lines doesn't seem to work. Anyways, thanks in advance! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Plotting-two-qqnorm-plots%3A-tp25352893p25352893.html Sent from the R help

Hi all, I want to create a rather standard overlaid qqnorm plot on a single variable, with different subgroups of the same dataset plotted using different colors/symbols/etc. (I don't want side-by-side, rather different-colored curves on the same graph) I managed to do it rather tediously using "lapply" and "split", and wondered whether there is any single-command

First of all, I really like R! Still being a newbie, I find things (the difficult ones) to be very simple. Alas, some 'simple' things still escape me. (Maybe the tutorials are often too much focused on the 'difficult' items??) Here comes my 'problem', over which I have sweated for the last 2 hours: My data are of a matrix 10x31, Likert Scale (1-5). 10 questions, 31

Hi, Try either: set.seed(28) stats1<- as.data.frame(matrix(rnorm(5*10000),ncol=5)) pdf(paste("test",1,".pdf",sep="")) par(mfrow=c(2,1)) lst1<- lapply(names(stats1),function(i) {hist(stats1[,i],100,col="lightblue",main=paste0("Histogram of ",i),xlab=i );qqnorm(stats1[,i])}) dev.off() #or

Hi all, ########################################## dof=c(1,2,4,8,16,32) Q5=matrix(rt(100,dof),100,6,T,dimnames=list(NULL,dof)) par(mfrow=c(2,6)) apply(Q5,2,hist) myf=function(x){ qqnorm(x);qqline(x) } apply(Q5,2,myf) ########################################## These looks ok. However, I would like to achieve more. Apart from using a loop, is there are fast way to 'add' the titles to be

Hello alltogether, how is it possible to assign the colnames of a data.frame to a function called by apply, e.g. for labeling a plot? Example: I want to plot several qqnorm-plots side by side and there should be a maintitle for each qqnorm-plot which is identical to the respective colname. I checked, but the column which is processed by the function called by apply does not contain a colname

I want to qqnorm every column in a table. When I try the first column using qqnorm(table$column1), it worked. But when I use qqnorm(table[1]), it tells me "Error in stripchart(x1, ...) : invalid plotting method". What happen? How can I make a function that qqnorms every column? thanks a lot. -jiong The email message (and any attachments) is for the sole use of the intended

Any idea why I can no longer plot two graphs on the same graphics device using the par(fig=) parameter? A simpler par(mfrow=c(1,2)) does work, showing the two plots side-by-side, but I would like the first to be larger. This simple example fails: x<-c(1,1,NA,2,2,NA,3,3) y<-c(2,4,NA,3,5,NA,1,4) par(fig=c(0,2/3,0,1)) plot(x,y) par(fig=c(2/3,1,0,1)) qqnorm(x) When plotted, the last

Dear experts, I tried to learn about Box-Cox-transformation but found the following thing: When I had to add a constant to make all values of the original variable positive, I found that the lambda estimates (box.cox.powers-function) differed dramatically depending on the specific constant chosen. In addition, the correlation between the transformed variable and the original were not 1 (as I

One of many scripts to produce 4 lattice plots on one page keeps throwing an error. I've tried manipulating the file to eliminate the error, but have not been able to do so. The error is: > source('bicarb.R') Error in source("bicarb.R") : bicarb.R:15:1: unexpected symbol 14: 15: hco33 ^ The 'h' is in column 0 so the caret would be column -1, but it's

Hello, I can't seem to make qqmath plot text. v <- rnorm(8) qqmath(~v) # this is ok, but qqmath(~v, panel=function(x, y) { points(x, y) text(0, 0, 'print me', cex=2)}) isn't ok. The axis frame is printed properly (ie, as in qqmath(~v)), but neither 'print me' nor the points show up on the graph. I can, however, see the upper half of the word 'me' in the
