Hi R-listers, 1) I am having trouble understanding why the means I have calculated from Aeventexhumed (A, B, and C) are different from the means showing on the boxplot I generated (see attached). I have added the script as to how my data is organized.
2) Also when I went through the data manually the means I calculated for each nesting event are slightly different than what I generated through R (see below). A, B, C 0.2155051, 0.1288241, 0.1124618 Thanks in advance, Jean ----------------------------------------------- > require(plyr) Loading required package: plyr > resp <- read.csv(file.choose()) > envir <- read.csv(file.choose()) > resp <- resp[!is.na(resp$Aeventexhumed), ] > resp$QuadratEvent <- paste(resp$QuadratID, resp$Aeventexhumed, sep="") > resp$QuadratEvent <- as.character(resp$QuadratEvent) > envir <- envir[!is.na(envir$Aeventexhumed), ] > envir$QuadratEvent <- paste(envir$QuadratID, envir$Aeventexhumed, sep="") > envir$QuadratEvent <- as.character(envir$QuadratEvent) > ExDate <- Sector <- Quadrat <- Aeventexhumed <- NULL > ST1 <- ST2 <- ST3 <- ST4 <- ST0 <- NULL > Shells <- Hatchlings <- MaxHatch <- DeadHatch <- NULL > Oldeggs <- TotalEggs <- QuadratEvent <- NULL > for (q in unique(as.character(resp$QuadratEvent))) { + s <- resp[as.character(resp$QuadratEvent) == q, ] + ExDate <- c(ExDate, as.character(s$ExDate[1])) + Sector <- c(Sector, as.character(s$Sector[1])) + Quadrat <- c(Quadrat, as.character(s$Quadrat[1])) + Aeventexhumed <- as.character(c(Aeventexhumed, as.character(s$Aeventexhumed[1]))) + QuadratEvent<- c(QuadratEvent, q) + ST1 <- c(ST1, sum(s$ST1, na.rm=TRUE)) + ST2 <- c(ST2, sum(s$ST2, na.rm=TRUE)) + ST3 <- c(ST3, sum(s$ST3, na.rm=TRUE)) + ST4 <- c(ST4, sum(s$ST4, na.rm=TRUE)) + ST0 <- c(ST0, sum(s$ST0, na.rm=TRUE)) + Shells <- c(Shells, sum(s$Shells, na.rm=TRUE)) + Hatchlings <- c(Hatchlings, sum(s$Hatchlings, na.rm=TRUE)) + MaxHatch <- c(MaxHatch, sum(s$MaxHatch, na.rm=TRUE)) + DeadHatch <- c(DeadHatch, sum(s$DeadHatch, na.rm=TRUE)) + Oldeggs <- c(Oldeggs, sum(s$Oldeggs, na.rm=TRUE)) + TotalEggs <- c(TotalEggs, sum(s$TotalEggs, na.rm=TRUE)) + } > responses <- data.frame(QuadratEvent, ExDate, Sector, Quadrat, + Aeventexhumed, ST0, ST1, ST2, ST3, ST4, Shells, + Hatchlings, MaxHatch, DeadHatch, Oldeggs, + TotalEggs, stringsAsFactors=FALSE) > responses$QuadratEvent <- as.character(responses$QuadratEvent) > data.to.analyze <- join(responses, envir, by="QuadratEvent") > data.to.analyze$NotHatched <- data.to.analyze$TotalEggs - > data.to.analyze$Shells > data.to.analyze$Rayos <- paste("Rayos", data.to.analyze$Rayos, sep=".") > Hsuccess <- Shells/TotalEggs > tapply(Hsuccess, Aeventexhumed, mean, na.rm=TRUE) A B C 0.2156265 0.1288559 0.1124327 > boxplot(HSuccess ~ Aeventexhumed, data = data.to.analyze, col = "blue", + main = "Hatching Success of Arribadas in 2010", + xlab = "Arribada Event", + ylab = "Hatching Success % (Shells / Total Eggs)") http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/file/n4536926/hatch_Aeventexhumed.png -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/R-generated-means-are-different-from-the-boxplot-tp4536926p4536926.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
