Why not just change the names of the variables before invoking the call to rq, and its formula? Because I won't be able to do longer label e.g. 'Population Density Per Square Mile'.
I actually found the solution by accident--- x<-rnorm(50) x1<-rnorm(50) y<-x+x1+rnorm(50) out<-rq(y~x+x1, tau=1:9/10) plot(summary(out), main=c('Intercept', 'Population Density Per Square Mile', '% Single Parent)) K. ============== Hi Roger, Maybe I'm missing a clue. Here's an example: x<-rnorm(50) x1<-rnorm(50) y<-x+x1+rnorm(50) out<-rq(y~x+x1, tau=1:9/10) plot(summary(out)) plot.out<-plot(summary(out)) #I change the variable names dimnames(plot.out)<-list(c("intercept", "sex", "inc")) Why not just change the names of the variables before invoking the call to rq, and its formula? ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
