[R] Question about ggplot2

[Shige Song]

Dear Josh and Abhijit,

Thanks for the help. The interesting thing is that the option "limits
= c(0, .1)" or "ylim(0,0.1)" also eliminates cases whose values are
greater than 0.1 and report missing values, which is not what I want.
Is there a way to keep all the cases for the computation of the
summary statistics and change the y limits in the final graph?
