Dear R community,
Please help. I am new(ish) to R and have spent too many hours trying to
achieve what I believe should be a relatively simple task. I have searched
help forums, but have not been able to successfully apply responses to
loosely related questions to my own.
I am running some preliminary summary statistics. I wish to create a
boxplot graph that represents summaries of samples collected over a series
of time points (0-18). My sample collection intensity was highest early
on, with samples collection decreasing in frequency over time. I am trying
to scale the the x-axis to unequal intervals.
The code I used for a graph representing a subset of my sample (re-named)
is below:
Boxplot(ALL~sample, data=rich.small, id.method="n", las = 2, names =
c("0","2","4","7","10","18"))
There were 10days between samples 0&2 and 3 days between 2&4, 4&7, 7&10,
and then 75days between 10&18
Hi Sagan,
I think what you want is to have the boxplots spaced out as the
occasions of measurement:
rich.small<-data.frame(ALL=rnorm(240,5),
sample=c(rep(0,60),rep(2,50),rep(4,40),
rep(7,30),rep(10,30),rep(18,30)))
# this gives you the spacing with the occasion labels
boxplot(ALL~sample,rich.small,at=c(0,10,13,16,19,94),xaxt="n",
xlab="Occasion")
library(plotrix)
staxlab(1,at=c(0,10,13,16,19,94),labels=c(0,2,4,7,10,18))
# and this gives you the days
boxplot(ALL~sample,rich.small,at=c(0,10,13,16,19,94),xaxt="n",
xlab="Days")
staxlab(1,at=c(0,10,13,16,19,94))
Lots of space in the middle for something.
Jim
