Dear Josh and Abhijit, Thanks for the help. The interesting thing is that the option "limits = c(0, .1)" or "ylim(0,0.1)" also eliminates cases whose values are greater than 0.1 and report missing values, which is not what I want. Is there a way to keep all the cases for the computation of the summary statistics and change the y limits in the final graph?
