Dear all, I'm creating a histogram with the function hist(). But right now what I get is column representation (as normal). I'm wondering if I could switch X-axis and Y-axis and get row-representation of frequencies? One more question, can I define the step of each axises for the histogram? Thanks so much! Donghui

There were some questions about hist() a couple of days ago which triggered this post. My question/suggestion is about the y-axis in hist. There are reasons to prefer making the y-axis density=relative frequency/bin width. One reason is that the height of the plot does not depend on the bin width; another is that if your histogram is in density then you can easily superimpose a smooth theoretical

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

I think there are a couple of things in ?hist that are not quite as clear as they could be. (1) freq: logical; if 'TRUE', the histogram graphic is a representation of frequencies, the 'counts' component of the result; if 'FALSE', _relative_ frequencies ("probabilities"), component 'density', are plotted. Defaults to

I have problems getting a histogram with relative frequencies on the y-axis. Here is an example data set: > a <- c(4.626, 4.627, 4.627, 4.628, 4.629, 4.629, 4.630, 4.631, 4.632, 4.632) > d = hist(a,freq=F) > d$density [1] 299.9999 100.0000 200.0000 100.0000 100.0000 200.0000 The obtained densities are given by counts/(total n * bin width), with bin width being

I discovered a bug in hist(). Try the following: x<-c(-5,-4,-4,-4,-3,-3,-3,-3,-2,-2,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,3,3,5,6) # Note that sum(x)<0: sum(x) # [1] -13 hist(x) # looks ok hist(x,freq=F) # negative bars !! # and finally this gives not 1: sum(hist(x,plot=F)$rel.freqs) # [1] -0.8076923 The reason is, that "sum(x)" is used instead of "length(x)" in the following line near

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:

Hy all, I give example code : connexions_jours<-c(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,5,5,5,5,5,5,6,6,7,7,7,7,7,7,7,7,8,8,8,12,15,19) pas_de_groupe<-1 hist(connexions_jours,col="red",xlab="Répartition du nombre de connexions par jours (sans

Hi all, In the histogram created with the `hist` command, the label of the y axis reads "Frequency ?. Finding that the ylab key is used to change (localize) that word may seem difficult for people who are beginners either in R or in english. I suggest very minor modifications of the file hist.Rd at https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/graphics/man/hist.Rd. 1) make the default value

just realized that the bin value is actually the relative frequency divided by the bin width. sorry for consuming band width. Alas, is there anyway to make hist() calculate relative frequencies irrespective of bin width? thanks Murad Nayal wrote: > > Hello, > > I am rather new to R. in trying to use the hist() command I get behavior > that is somewhat puzzling me, in short,

Dear Researches, sorry for disturb. I wish to improve my figure in R plotting the relative frequencies of my data set. library(lattice) a <- c(0,0,0,1,1,2,4,5,6,7,7,7,7,7,8,8,8,8,9,9,9,9,10,10,11) histogram(a, xlab="myData") what i wish to do is: 1) invert the order of X and Y (eg: Precent of Total on X-axis and "MyData" on X-axis) 2) plot not the bar of histogram but a

Think I'm missing something to understand what is going on with hist(...) http://n2.nabble.com/What-is-going-on-with-Histogram-Plots-td3022645.html For my example I count 7 unique years, however, on the histogram there only 6. It looks like the bin to the left of the tic mark on the x-axis represents the number of entries for that year, i.e. Frequency. I guess it looks like the bin for

Hi, I have a couple of observations, a question or two, and perhaps a suggestion related to the plotting of density on the y-axis within the hist() function when freq=FALSE. I was using the function and trying to develop an intuitive understanding of what the density is telling me. After reading through this fairly helpful post:

Dear all, I have a surprising problem with the representation of frequencies in a histogram. Consider, for example, the R code: b<-rnorm(2000,3.5,0.3) hist(b,freq=F) When I plotted the histogram, I expected that values in the y-axis (the probability) varied between 0 and 1. Instead, they varied within the range 0-1.3. Have you got any suggestion for obtaining a correct graph with

Full_Name: Mark Wall Version: 1.6.0 OS: linux Submission from: (NULL) (63.251.119.254) I want to plot a histogram of a *subset* of some data: >t = c(0:9) >hist(t,right=FALSE,breaks=10,xlim=c(0,5),xaxs="i") This means I should plot a histogram from 0 to 5 with breaks at 1,2,3,4. This should produce exactly 5 bars of frequency=1. Instead I get 5 and 1/4 bars. I do not want the

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

Hello, To indicate probability densities instead of counts on a histogram, I specify freq = FALSE. However, I expect that summing all top y coordinates over all the intervals of the histogram will provide 1. 1) v <- c(0.2885, 0.2988, 0.3139, 0.2615, 0.3179, 0.3163, 0.2583, 0.3052, 0.2527, 0.3147, 0.3235, 0.2408, 0.2480, 0.3108, 0.3577, 0.2829, 0.2694, 0.3275, 0.3314, 0.2639, 0.3076,

Hi, I am trying to plot a histogram with my dataset that has 68 elements, 67 of which are zero and the last one is 18. It can be reproduced as follows: x<-array(0, dim=(68)) x[1] = 18 I am trying to plot its histogram using: hist(x, breaks=10, xlim=c(0, 100), axes=F) axis(2, at=seq(0, 70, 5)) # for the y-axis axis(1, at=seq(0, 100, 10)) # for the x-axis As you would also see if you

Dear all Problem: hist()-function, scale = ?percent? I want to generate histograms for changing underlying data. In order to make them comparable, I want to fix the y-axis (vertical-axis) to, e.g., 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% as well as to fix the spaces, too. So the y-axis in each histogram should be identical. Currently, I have 100 histograms and the y-axis scales changes in each. Here is my code:
