Dear all, The help page of stem() says that the width argument gives the desired width of plot. However, I cannot come up with any idea what this width stays for. This becomes especially difficult if you run these couple of examples:
The decimal point is 3 digit(s) to the right of the | 0 | 00000000000000000000000000000111111222338 2 | 07 4 | 5 6 | 8 8 | 4 10 | 5 12 | 14 | 16 | 0 > stem(islands, width = 0) The decimal point is 3 digit(s) to the right of the | 0 | +41 2 | +2 4 | +1 6 | +1 8 | +1 10 | +1 12 | 14 | 16 | +1 The ableve examples are clear, but the below ones are not clear for me: > stem(islands, width = 10) The decimal point is 3 digit(s) to the right of the | 0 | +31 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 | Note that for width = 10 there are only 10 leaves while there are 48 observations. In fact, taking width = 1, you got 47 leaves; width = 2, 46 leaves, and so on. Look at width = 20: > stem(islands, width = 20) The decimal point is 3 digit(s) to the right of the | 0 | 00000000+21 2 | 07 4 | 5 6 | 8 8 | 4 10 | 5 12 | 14 | 16 | 0 Now we have 36 leaves. Could anyone pleaase clarify what is going on here?
