similar to: bwplot and outlier symbols

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?

I'd like to suggest changes to three help pages, regarding the use of pch=NA to suppress plotting symbols. See below. Arni R 2.0.1 on WinXP === help(bxp) === The argument outpch=" " needs to be replaced with outpch=NA in two places. I actually wrote this part of the documentation myself at one point, but have now realized that pch=NA and pch=" " are not the same:

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 :

Hello This is Elaine. I am using package lattice to generate boxplots. Using Richard's code, the display was almost perfect except the outlier shape. Based on the following code, the outliers are vertical lines. However, I want the outliers to be empty circles. Please kindly help how to modify the code to change the outlier shapes. Thank you. code package (lattice) dataN <-

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?

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 List, Just wondering where the documentation exists for the statistics which makeup the bwplot. I'm guessing that if R is like similar products that the graph is constructed as The median is the filled circle. The box surrounding the filled circle depicts the 25th and 75th quartile. The range of values is given by the dotted lines (?whiskers?) outside of each box, and possible

dear R experts: I am playing with boxplots for the first time. most of it is intuitive, although there was less info on the web than I had hoped. alas, for some odd reason, my R boxplots have some fat black dots, not just the hollow outlier plots. Is there a description of when R draws hollow vs. fat dots somewhere? [and what is the parameter to change just the size of these dots?] Also, let

dear R-help, i have looked carefully through the R-help archives for information on how to suppress whiskers in a bwplot. someone asked this question a while ago, but the answer he received is not available in the archives. but i did manage to get my hands on a panel function (called "my.panel") that is supposed to do this (the function is reproduced at the end of the email, below).

Hi all, I want to retrieve the stats from a 'bwplot' with one factor. I have read the help for 'panel' function and I'm aware of the option 'stats' which defaults to 'boxplot.stats' but I didn't understand it well and therefore I am unable to get what I need.

http://www.nabble.com/file/p14668788/paragraphs.png Hi, R is is world full of wonders... I created the attached plot, and I think it's exactly what I need! Well, actually I think it is more that wht I need... I wanted R to show the mean values of the categories on the x-axis and maybe the standard derivation as well. I am pretty confident that the bold horrizontal lines in the plot show

Dear Users Is there any way to generate lines instead of points for outliers in the boxplot function? Thanks AA. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-community, Using bwplot, how can I put the whiskers at percentile 5 and percentile 95, in place of the default position coef=1.5?? Using panel=panel.bwstrip, whiskerpos=0.05, from the package agsemisc gives satisfaction, but changes the appearance of my boxplot and works with an old version of R, what I don’t want, and I didn’t find the option in box.umbrella parameters Many thanks

I have created a lattice bwplot that suffers from axis label overplotting. The box plot contains grid lines, and I thought that only plotting the labels for corresponding vertical grid lines would not only cure the overplotting but also be more aesthetically pleasing. Unfortunately hours of poring over manuals, documentations, mailing list archives, and other R-related text hasn't helped.

Hi, Is there any way to change the outlier color in a plot by bwplot()? The code I use is the following. grs = list(col=1:2,lty=1:2,pch=c(1,16)) n=90 set.seed(12) sda=data.frame(x=rnorm(n)+20*rbinom(n,1,1/3),g=as.factor(rbinom(n,1,prob=1/2)), t=as.factor(rep(1:3,n/3))) bwplot(x~g|t,data=sda,layout=c(3,1),main="",groups=t,xlab="Gender",ylab="",

Hi I use sweave and have a problem with the following figure, but not with other figures: tt <- data.frame(c("a", "b", "c"), c(1.2, 3, 4.5)) names(tt) <- c("x1", "x2") bwplot(x2 ~x1, data = tt) ok now in sweave: \begin{figure}[H] \begin{center} <<echo=FALSE, fig=TRUE, height=5, width=10>>= lset(col.whitebg()) bwplot(x2 ~x1,

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]]

Hello, I'm using bwplot to make a few plots. The plots are exactly what I need, but are coming out with a grey background and turquoise boxes and whiskers. I cannot figure out how to just get black and white to be the default. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks Kenneth E. Nussear Phone 775 784-1703 Ecology, Evolution and FAX 775 784-1369

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 -
