[R] Comples Boxplots in R . Resources

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

Dear Alex,

Have a look at the ggplot2 package

n <- 3502
junk <- list(list(matrix(rnorm(n), ncol = 1), matrix(rnorm(n, sd = 2), ncol = 1)), list(matrix(rnorm(n, mean = 1), ncol = 1), matrix(rnorm(n, mean = 1, sd = 2), ncol = 1)), list(matrix(rnorm(n, mean = 1), ncol = 1), matrix(rnorm(n, mean = -1, sd = 0.5), ncol = 1)))
dataset <- do.call(rbind, lapply(seq_along(junk), function(i){
 data.frame(set = i, status = c(rep("On", nrow(junk[[i]][[1]])), rep("Off", nrow(junk[[i]][[2]]))), value = unlist(junk[[i]]))
}))
dataset$set <- factor(dataset$set)
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(dataset, aes(x = set, y = value, linetype = status)) + geom_boxplot()

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say what the experiment died of.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.

Take a look at

example(boxplot)
and
example(bxp)

I think the last one for boxplot (with the guinea pig teeth!) will work for you and I believe you can manipulate the linetype the same way they do color there.  Though looking at your data, it seems problematic that your values are so different....if that's problematic of your real data, you'll need to scale them to match or use multiple facets / panels as the examples demonstrate.

Even better it would be great if the on boxes will be plotted by solid lines and the off boxes with dashed lines.
