People,
It appears that there is no way of getting Boxplots to plot
using Mean,
SD,
Max & Min - is there something else that would do what I want?
I
couldn't
find it . .
Try replacing the stats component of boxplot's output with your
desired statistics and then feeding that into the lower level bxp
function to do the graphics:
bp <- boxplot(Nile, plot = FALSE)
bp$stats <- matrix(c(min(Nile), mean(Nile) + c(-1, 0, 1) *
sd(Nile),
max(Nile)))
bxp(bp)
Thanks for that! What is the syntax when there is more than one
set of
data
(ie a two dimensional vector)? I tried messing around with stuff
like:
mean(Nile[,2] etc
but I get subscript out of range errors . .
Bill's example shows how to do it with a list of numeric vectors.
Here is another example using the built in anscombe and making use
of
my prior code, Bill's and Vining's:
bp <- boxplot(anscombe, plot = FALSE)
bp$stats <- sapply(anscombe, function(x) c(min(x), mean(x) + c(-1,
0,
1) * sd(x), max(x)))
bxp(bp, outline = FALSE)
Interesting! - I've learnt something about anscombe and sapply and
other
stuff (thanks again!) but I think I mis-spoke before. I think what
I want
is a list of numeric vectors but when I created tarr:
tarr <- array( dim = c( 5,3 ), c( 1,2,3,4,5,2,3,4,5,6,3,4,5,6,7 ) )
I couldn't get it to work with the original code . . now I have had
a closer
look at Bill's code . .
On the original question though, why isn't there something "off the
shelf"
that will do what I want? Surely, a "boxplot" using mean, SD, max
and min
would be a common enough need to justify it?
tarr is not a list or a data frame. Use.data.frame(tarr) so that it
uses the same assumptions as the examples in this thread.
Thanks!
I believe there is no such facility due to a philosophical
opposition.
A software design thing or a stats thing?
Unless someone were careful they would naturally assume that
boxplots
were shown even though that is not the case here.
I don't understand what you mean here . .
Regards,
Phil.
