Hi David,
Sorry for not being absolutely clear.
x-axis will be the values ranging from (-50 to 50) and y-axis will be
the density distribution as you would get after plotting every column
fitted to the normal distribution. However, what I need here is to
reduce the nine column file to a three column file. In the three
column file, the first column should be the mean of every row of a the
nine column file, the second column will be the maximum value of every
row of the nine column file and the third column will be the minimum
value of all of the values in every row of the nine column file.
Since the values in the nine column fits quite well to the normal
distribution, I expect their mean to behave similar. So I would plot
mean fitted to the normal distribution and would like to see for every
mean value what is the error bar as defined by the min and max values.
Thank you for any help that you may extend in this matter.
Best regards,
-Pooja

The values in each of the nine columns are almost normally
distributed but have slightly different heights of nine normalised
bell shaped plots.
I was trying to plot each row as a point with error bars. The
central point will be the mean of the nine values in each of rows
and the max and min of the row will be the upper and lower bound of
the error bar. I expect a normally distributed plot with spikes
around. Can any one please help me plotting data in this way ?
Many thanks for any input.
I am confused about what is desired. First you describe the
distributions of the full dataset's columns. Then you ask for a plot
by rows, but you say it will be a normally distributed plot (which
it is not). What are the x-axis and y-axis supposed to be?
