Hi,
i am sure, that this is a noob-question, but i have searched for hours without any good result. I want to draw a vertical line through the maximum of the first derivation. Here is a small example. --8<-----[mydata.csv]-------------------------------- H M 1 15 2 22 3 23 4 17 5 10 --8<-----[myquestion.R]------------------------------ mydata <- read.table("mydata.csv", header=TRUE, sep="\t") attach(mydata) # make a smooth fit through the points and calculate the first derivation d/dx myspl <- smooth.spline(H, M, all.knots = FALSE, nknots = 10, spar=0.5) mydiff <- predict(myspl, 0:max(H), deriv=1) # find the maximum peak max(y) y1=y2= max(mydiff$y) # now i want to plot a line through the maximum of the derivation # how can i get the x-coordinate? # segments(x1,y1,x2,y2) detach() --8<------------------------------------- Thank you, -- Jonas Stein ______________________________________________ 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.
