I really apprecaite the suggestion. I just downloaded the Hmisc.pdf document and looked through it. Do you have any further thoughts about a specific function within the Hmisc package?
I looked at largest.empty, but not sure how that is applicable to my data points. x = seq(0, 1000, by = 1) y1_vals<-rnorm(1000, mean = 0, sd = 50) y2_vals<-rnorm(1000, mean = 25, sd = 40) y3_vals<-rnorm(1000, mean = 115, sd = 40) plot(x_vals, y1_vals, pch=22, col="dark red", bg = "dark red", cex =0.3) points(x_vals, y2_vals, pch=22, col="dark blue", bg = "dark blue", cex =0.3) points(x_vals, y3_vals, pch=22, col="dark green", bg = "dark green", cex =0.3) abline(h=0, col="dark red", lwd=1.5, lty=6) abline(h=25, col="dark blue", lwd=1.5, lty=6) abline(h=115, col="dark green", lwd=1.5, lty=6) legend("topright", c("Best Guess 1" , "Best Guess 2", "Best Guess 3"), bg="white", lwd = 2, title = "Randomness:") Is there any chance you can provide a suggestion?
