similar to: about the whisker in boxplot

Hi, Dear R-users: Sorry for bothering your guys again. I think I should rewrite my question. I know how to extend whisker by using range. The question is that I will set the range=1.5, and at the same time, I only want to show the extreme outlier, like 0.01% and 99.99% percentile, so what should I do? Thank you very much!

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")

Hi, I'm trying to graph some data in a boxplot-like style, but I want to set the box and whisker limits myself (rather than having R calculate them for me). I'd like the boxes to be shaded and the whiskers to be dotted lines. My data are set up is something like this: min.whisker max.whisker min.box max.box species 0 200 20 37

Hi, Is it possible to produce box-and-whisker plots given that I have the median, interquartile and 5/95th centile values, but not the data from which they come? It seems that it ought to be possible to coerce bxp to do what I want, but I can't quite see how. Thanks, Matthew -- Matthew Vernon, Research Fellow Ecology and Epidemiology Group, University of Warwick

Hello: I am plotting some data using the box and whisker plot. However, I only want to plot the median, max and min, as I only have these values and not the quartile values. It seems R arbitrarily constructs the box margins to be halfway between the median and the max/min. How do I make the box and whisker plots without the box values? Thanks, Michael [[alternative HTML version

Dear list, I am using a external program that outputs Q1, Q3, median, upper and lower whisker values for various datasets simultaneously in a tab delimited format. After importing this text file into R, I would like to plot a boxplot using these given values and not the original series of data points, i.e. not using something like boxplot(mydata). Is there an easy way for doing this? If I am not

Hi, Sorry for bothering your guys. I am still working on boxplot. How can I extend the whisker to the 5% and the 95% quantiles? What I should do if I only want to show the most extreme outlier, like 0.01% and 99.99% percentiles? I saw something on boxplot.stat, but I even donot know how to connect it to boxplot? Thank you very much! suppose the follow is the data to make the boxplot. a <-

In a Box and Whisker plot, I thought that when there are outliers both abov= e and below the whiskers, then the whiskers should both be the same length = (plus or minus 1.5 times the inter-quartile range). If you look at the plot for SilwoodWeather on p.155 of The R Book you will = see that for November (month =3D 11) the upper whisker is shorter than the = lower, while for other months with

Hello, I am using lattice to draw boxplots. I would like to make the whisker look shorter than the box width. Please kindly advise how to modify the code. Thank you. Elaine code bwplot(x,y, pch=rep("|",2), box.umbrella = list(col = "black", lty = 1)) [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I'm sure this is reallly basic, but I just can get it to work. I want to plot six box & whisker plots together to make one figure so that they appear one below the next. I can do this using >par(mfrow=c(6,1)), but each box&whisker plots end up vertically compressed to the point where I can't see the actual bars, and there is a large amount of white space between each

Dear r-help, Unfortunately I cannot find in the documentation what determines ranges of a 'box' in the box-and-whisker plot. It is said in "Simple R" (http://www.math.csi.cuny.edu/Statistics/R/simpleR) that they are 1st and 3rd Qus usually. I tried to add to boxplot lines with (quantile(x,probs=0.25)), but lines do not coincide with edges of boxes.

Hi, I would like to make a box and whisker plot but use a sample weight for each observation. I've searched around a bit and have not found a method of doing this. Anyone have any advice?

I think the function you need is 'help.search'; try: help.search("binomial") and look for something obvious in the 'stats' package. A good deal quicker and easier than posting to an internet forum!

Dear R people, I wonder how to hide tick lines behind other figures in a plot, e.g. in a boxplot. # Sample code: x<- c(rep(4,50),rep(5,20),rep(6,50),rnorm(20,5,1)) boxplot(x) axis(2,tck=1,col.ticks='grey',lty=5 ) # end of sample code The tick lines is put on top of the box-plot, but I would like to put these lines behind the box and whiskers.. Regards Helmer

I am trying to draw a plot like Matlab does: The upper extreme whisker represents 95% of the data; The upper hinge represents 75% of the data; The median represents 50% of the data; The lower hinge represents 25% of the data; The lower extreme whisker represents 5% of the data. It looks like: --- 95% | | ------- 75% | | |-----| 50% | | | | -------

Hi, Sorry for bothering your guys again. I am trying to use "par" to put 6 figures into 3 rows and 2 columns. My code is: op <- par(mfrow = c(1, 2)) xyplot(x1+x2+x3 ~ y, data=resulta, type="l", pch=LETTERS[1:3], lty=c(1:3), main="For k=3, theata1=1") xyplot(x1+x2+x3 ~ y, data=resultb, type="l", pch=LETTERS[1:3], lty=c(1:3), main="For k=3,

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?

Thank you for your guys reply for my previous question. But I got one more question about the boxplot. With the code in the R-help: boxplot(len ~ dose, data = ToothGrowth, boxwex = 0.25, at = 1:3 - 0.2, subset = supp == "VC", col = "yellow", main = "Guinea Pigs' Tooth Growth", xlab = "Vitamin C dose mg", ylab =

Hi everybody, I'm trying to modify the boxplot just to set the upper whisker to the 90 percentile value, but I still couldn't find the solution. Can anyone help me? Thanks Alessandro Carletti
