[R] Change Variable Labels in Quantile Plot

2011-08-23 Thread Kitty Lee
Why not just change the names of the variables before invoking the call to rq, and its formula? Because I won't be able to do longer label e.g. 'Population Density Per Square Mile'. I actually found the solution by accident--- x<-rnorm(50) x1<-rnorm(50) y<-x+x1+rnorm(50) out<-rq(y~x+x1, tau=1:9/

Hi Roger, Maybe I'm missing a clue. Here's an example: x<-rnorm(50) x1<-rnorm(50) y<-x+x1+rnorm(50) out<-rq(y~x+x1, tau=1:9/10) plot(summary(out)) plot.out<-plot(summary(out)) #I change the variable names dimnames(plot.out)<-list(c("intercept", "sex", "inc")) Why not just change the names

I have spent hours on this ---looked through the quantreg manual and r-help site--- still couldn't figure out the answer. Can someone please help me on this? I plot the result from quantile regression and want to change the variable labels: temp<-rq(dep~inc+age50, data=newdata, tau=1:9/10)
