similar to: outlier and whisker in boxplot

Hi, Dear R-users, I have a problem when I drawing a boxplot. I want to extend the whisker to the 5% and the 95% quantiles and only show the most extreme outlier, like 0.01% and 99.99% percentiles. What should I do? I saw something on boxplot.stat, but even I define the parameter in boxplot.stat, what I should do next? how to connect it to boxplot? Thank you very much! Catherine -- View

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, 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

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, 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

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

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.

Hi, I tried to use boxplot function. I am following the ?boxplot and can change the whisker box width using lwd parameter. However, when outline=TRUE, the thickness of the circle of the outliers is not proportionally changed when I change the line width of the whisker box. There must be another parameter for that. Unfortunately I don't know. please help and thanks much in advance. --

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

My box plot below is drawing its upper whisker all the way to the last point, instead of showing the point as an outlier. Am I misunderstanding, or is it a bug? Help(boxplot) states for the parameter ?range? that ?this determines how far the plot whiskers extend out from the box. If range is positive, the whiskers extend to the most extreme data point which is no more than range times the

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?

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.

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% | | | | -------

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!

R-help, I'm trying to do a simple box-and-whisker plot to some data. The data are a subset of a large data frame but when running the "boxplot" function on the subset data all the factors are still present in the graph leaving a huge empty space until the actuals factors are shown. This produces a spurious box-and-whisker plot. If the subset data are exported to another R session

Dear R users, I have question concerning box plot and it's whiskers. As I understood from the description of the boxplot() function, if the range value is positive the plot whiskers extend out from the box to the most extreme data points defined by the values of the IQR times range (default 1.5). It suggests that the upper and lower plot whiskers should be more less the same length. What

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

Hi there, I was wondering if anybody can explain to me why the boxplot ends up with different results in the following case: I have some integer data as a vector and I compare the stats of boxplot with the same data divided by a factor. I've attached a csv file with both data present (d1, d2). The factor is 34.16667. If I run the boxplot function on d1 I get the following stats:
