Hi Jim Thanks again for returning to this. please not that the line "oomean<-as.vector(by(oodf$B,oodf$A,mean))" was omitted (not sure whether deliberate) after you introduced the standard error function. When I used it, empty plot window with the correct axes were generated but no data was displayed. No error too.
library(plotrix) std.error<-function(x) return(sd(x)/(sum(!is.na(x)))) oose<-as.vector(by(oodf$B,oodf$A,std.error)) plot(-5:10,oomean,type="b",ylim=c(50000,110000), xlab="days (epoch is the day of Fd)",ylab="strikes/km2/day") dispersion(-5:10,oomean,oose) When I included the line, the same empty graph window was generated but with the former error "Error in FUN(X[[1L]], ...) : could not find function "FUN"" library(plotrix) std.error<-function(x) return(sd(x)/(sum(!is.na(x)))) oomean<-as.vector(by(oodf$B,oodf$A,mean)) oose<-as.vector(by(oodf$B,oodf$A,std.error)) plot(-5:10,oomean,type="b",ylim=c(50000,110000), xlab="days (epoch is the day of Fd)",ylab="strikes/km2/day") dispersion(-5:10,oomean,oose) I am sure am missing something but can't place it. Please have a look again to track my mistake.
