Hi all,

I am having a problem using xyplot from lattice library. I am plotting one variable against another one, conditioning on two other variablesm one of which has 3 levels and the other 6 levels. The output is thus a 6x3 panel
plot. Here's my code:

print((xyplot(CloDurPercent[CloDurNA != 'NA' & Mscor<3.5]~ConsDur[CloDurNA
!= 'NA' & Mscor<3.5]|Pos*ConsId, data = Stops, pch = '.'))

One of the panels is not plotting the data in it -- it remains blank. I first thought that I had some problem with this particular data subset but no, when I reordered levels and plotted the data again, a different subset is not showing up in the same panel as before. This is the outcome whether I print on the Quartz device or save the plot to a .ps file. What's going on?
Is there some hardware/software interaction problem? I am using R 1.14

Really? If that is true then you are way, way behind the times. You may be offered a prize for the most ancient version in use. (Even if you were using the Mac-GUI version it would still be 5 years out of date.

MacOS X 10.3.9.

Well, maybe you are.


Hardware issues are still very unlikely.

The construction CloDurNA != 'NA' will not do what you think it does. Try:

!is.na(CloDurNA)  #instead

You could take a variable that should exist for every category and do something lik:

require(Hmisc)   # or some other package with a describe function
with(CloDurPercent, tapply(CloDurPercent[!is,na(CloDurNA) & Mscor<3.5], c(ConsId, Pos, CloDurPercent[!is,na(CloDurNA) & Mscor<3.5]), describe)

Should give you a count of NA's and if all are missing in a particular category you will get all TRUE in one cell.

It might be prudent to upgrade if that was not a typo and provide more information about your dataset
