Dear List, I have a two-part question related to bpplot(), a box-percentile plot function in the Hmisc package. Take the example given in the Help for bpplot(), for instance. (1) How does one set but not draw the y-axis? What I did was, bpplot(... , yaxt="n"), but that apparently does not work (though it works for boxplot()). (2) How does one display the mean value of each variable

The standard R boxplot appears to use quartiles to determine the height of the rectangles and a range parameter - RNG - (default=1.5 I think) that determines the length of the whiskers as <= RNG x Interquartile Range. Is it possible to instead define the range as extending to the 95th percentile? If so, how would this be done? nb, I'm plotting multiple boxplots on a single chart so a

Hi everybody, I am a newbie in R. I would like to use the panel.bpplot function on my data set but I have some problems. Can this function work on matrix? My data set have some NaN and when I run panel.bpplot function it returns error due to the presence of NaN. How Can I solve this? Thank you so much for your help netrunner -- 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

Hi, Is there a function that does percentile-percentile plot. I do not mean the qqplot. I need to plot the percentiles rather than points themselves. I am hoping for a plot that tells me that the x percentile of one data set corresponds to the y percentile of the other. for example a point on the plot of (.5, .2) will tell me that the 50th percentile of the first data and the 20th percentile of

Hi all, I'm just getting started with R and I would appreciate some help. I'm having trouble creating a boxplot with whiskers at the 95th and 5th percentiles instead of at 1.5 * IQR. I have read the relevant documentation, and checked existing mails on this topic. I found a small modification that should work : https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2001-November/016817.html and tried to

Heeeelp Given this data x <- c(1,5,100,300,250,200,550,900,1000) > quantile(x) 0% 25% 50% 75% 100% 1 100 250 550 1000 When I run the quantile, I can only know the value of the nth percentile I want to know what's the percentile position of each items in the list Sample 1 = 100% on the list has 1 or more 5 = more than x% on the list has 5 or more 100 = more than x% on the

I have a problem where I need to calculate the corresponding cohort percentile ranks for each of several variables. Essentially, what I need is a function that will calculate the distribution-free percentiles from each variable's data vector, returning a corresponding vector of percentiles: e.g.: percentile.my.data<-/function/(my.data) I tried to make ecdf() perform this task but

Hi, can anyone help me to figure out how to compute the percentile of an individual observation with respect to a reference distribution. What I mean is. Let's assume I have a vector consisting of 10 numbers {3,5,8,1,9,5,4,3,5.5,7} and I want figure out what percentile the number 4.9 corresponds to. I failed to find any reference to such a function, although I would assume this must

hello; firstly, my gratitude to all who help me to find a function that allows me to add confidence interval to my graph. in order to calculate the (1-alpha)th percentile of for exemple an F(df1,df2) distribution i do like this: v<-df(alpha,df1,df2) percentile<-qf(v,df1,df2,alpha) if it is true please alert me , and if it is not what should do then? :handshake: -- View this message in

Dear All, I have to get the value of say 90th percentile of precipitation time series.. The series is of daily precipitation value of 96 years, I have to to get 90the percentile value of daily precipitation each year. If you know the R code or command for this please let me know. I would appreciate your early response. Thanking you, Sincerely, Ajay.

Hello I need to calculate and insert the values for the 50,75,90,95 & 99 percentiles in a data frame for each row. I used agr1$quantile <- quantile(agr1$cnt, probs=c(.50, .75, .90, .95, .99)) but that didn't work. How can calculate the percentile for my variable "cnt" , insert & name the percentile as p50, p75, etc in my data frame agr1? Thanks in advance for your

I am a new and unexperienced user of R and got so far as to know how to produce boxplots. I have no experience of messing with function code, so presently I do not know how to create a boxplot with group means instead of group medians. If somebody could help me either replace the median with the mean or superimpose the mean onto the existing boxplot, it would be appreciated.

Dear all, I am familiar with obtaining the value corresponding to a chosen probability via the quantile function. Now I am facing the opposite problem I have a value an want to know it's corresponding percentile in the distribution. So is there a function for this as well? Thank you for your support in advance, Felix

Hi: I have an array of measurements, that I've been doing linear regression model and AI models on. Because there are many errors and the values are "ill-formed" I would like to copy the array, but replace each value with the PERCENTILE of that value, in the original array. i.e. mesments$V1: 9, 77, -1 would become: mesmentsCopy$V1: 50, 100, 0 The actual array has many more

Hi all, One quick question: How to put values of 25 and 75 percentile on boxplot? Thanks in advance.

To calculate Percentile for a set of observations Excel has percentile() function. R function quantile() does the same thing. Is there any significant difference btw percentile and quantile?

In R, what is the best way to convert z-scores (Normal distribution) to a percentiles, and vice-versa. (I'll be looking to do the same with other distributions eventually.) === Peter Petto <ppetto at ppetto.com> Bay Village, OH 440.249.4289
