similar to: Dot plot - equivalent of MINITAB

Dear R experts, Can R make an usual dotplot just like Minitab and other softwares? I have the following data, and can use dotchart to graph a dotplot: y=c(2.873438152e-01, -8.732895642e-01, 4.579001889e-01, 1.047395204e+00, 8.491182299e-02 , -1.938007105e+00, -1.273708343e+00, 9.848010588e-05, 7.238490734e-01, -1.490552717e+00) dotchart(y, xlab="10 observations from

Running R 1.8.1 on a Windows machine In dotchart, I would like to shrink the labels on the tick marks (that is, the numbers) without shrinking anything else. I could not find this in either the Rhelp archives or in ?dotchart, which recmmends cex to avoid 'label overlap', but cex shrinks all the characters in the plot. Is there a way to do this? Thanks Peter Peter L. Flom, PhD

I am a complete newbie in R . Using R 2.2.0 Windows XP This started as a simple exercise to see if I could produce a simple Cleveland style dotchart with a line from the '2' axis to the dot rather than a continuous line as do "dotchart" and "dotchart2". At least I could not find that option. I got a crude program to work but it includes unnecessary steps.

Dear All, Can R produce dot plots like the one of the following picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Dotplot_of_random_values.png ? I have tried dotchart, but no success. Thanks in advance, Paul

My earlier posting should have said "dotchart", not "barchart". 1)  How does one show confidence-intervals in a "dotchart" and use rownames for labels on the y-axes?  I have looked at "plotCI" in "gregmisc" package . But it does not seem to produce something like a dotchart.  The statistic, error, upper-bound, and lower-bound are in a

I'm trying to create a dotplot with some grouping. I've been able to create what I want using dotchart (basic graphics), but can't quite get it using dotplot (lattice). I prefer to use lattice (or ggplot2) because I think it's a bit easier to control some other aspects of the plot appearance. Basically, w/ lattice I've not been able to get the y-axis label to include the

I'm just learning to work with R, and am having some difficulty controlling the output of my dotplot. The default order of the function dotchart seems to be the largest value on the bottom and the smallest on the top. I wanted it in the opposite order (which is how my data frame is currently sorted), so I used the following approach, which works orderidx <- order(b2000$RR)

Problem: neither fg or bg nor color work properly in dotchart. version: R-1.7.1 for windows code which shows the errors: x <- matrix(rnorm(16),ncol=2,dimnames=list(paste("a",1:8,sep=""),c("before","afte r"))) dotchart(x,fg="blue",bg="lightgrey") dotchart(x,color=c("red","blue")) Dr Ian J Wilson Lecturer in

How can I use row.names() as y-labels in Dotplot? How to set horizontal orientation for y-lables in lattice()? Dotplot(stcod1 ~ Cbind(statgh2,statgh2-1.96*segh2,statgh2+1.96*segh2)[og], subset=statgh2[og]>0.1, data=h2inqerrg02st, xlab="G", ylab=row.names(h2inqerrg02st)[og], main="") I have tried doing it with mtext() as well, but there is not enough space besides

I'm having trouble using the read.mtp function in the foreign package to import datasets from minitab (.mtw) format. Specifically, each file I try to import fails to load any data beyond a header row stating the version of Minitab that saved the dataset. I get this error: incomplete final line found by readtableHeader on 'income.mtw' The dataset appears to be complete (ie, using

I am trying to put 3 dotcharts side-by-side with minimal space between each. Each chart is for a different variable, but the vertical axes are the same. I want to have vertical axis labels on the lefthand chart but no vertical axis labels on the other two. Plus, I would like very little space between charts 1 & 2 and between charts 2 & 3. I have one approach but am not too happy with

Hi all. I got a question about eigenvector. I've tried input a symmetric matrix to both R (using eigen function) and minitab, but the result is really different. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with that? Thanks. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I ran a small data set from a factorial experiment through R, Minitab and JMP... the result from R is significantly different from what Minitab or JMP give... The data set is at the following link: http://www.personal.psu.edu/nug107/Uploads/2x3_16repsANOVA.txt The first 5 columns are the factors and the next three are responses. In particular, for the response beta11MSE, two of the

I have a factor vector of subject races (Asian, Black, Hispanic, White; n=30) that I want to plot with a Cleveland dotplot or dotchart. I tried the following in R2.12.1 : > dotchart(table(school$Race)) Error in plot.xy(xy.coords(x, y), type = type, ...) : invalid plot type Using the same data set in R2.11.1 the operation succeeded (I tried several variations to be sure): >

Dear R People: I ran an ARIMA(1,0,1) on a particular series in R and got a negative MA(1) estimate. Then I ran an ARIMA(1,0,1) on the same series in Minitab and got a positive MA(1) estimate. The values are about -0.69 and 0.70. Does R show the opposite value, please? Thanks, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of Computer and Mathematical Sciences University of Houston -

I have some data which I would like to display with dotchart. The labels are very long, so the chart becomes too small. Setting cex=0.7 seems to be a good compromise, but the gap between the text and the chart still is too large. I did not find a "gap" parameter in the description of dotchart... Thanks for any help. D. Trenkler "a" <- structure(c(103.35, 36.73, 55.09,

Given this example mean.values<-colMeans(VADeaths) mean.values<-apply(VADeaths, 2, mean) median.values<-apply(VADeaths, 2, median) dotchart(VADeaths, gdata=mean.values) dotchart(VADeaths, gdata=median.values) is it possible to ?combine? a single dotchart showing both the mean and the median for each single group (with different plotting symbols)? ?is it that possible with the use of

Buenos dias a todos quisiera meter dos o mas "dotplot" dentro de la misma gráfica. Lo intento con par(mfrow=c(2,2)), pero no me lo permite. Sí puedo hacerlo en cambio con los Boxplot. Es posible hacerlo pero me falta algun detalle, o simplemente no se puede?? Muchas gracias Jose Luis [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
