Hi there,


May be part of your problem is solved.

size=c(80, 40, 20, 16, 10, 8, 4, 2)
estimate=c(0.1353, 0.1337, 0.1237, 0.1164,  0.1058, 0.0983, 0.0759 , 0.0607)
plot(size, estimate, type="o", lwd=1.5, col="blue", ylim=c(0, 0.2),
xlim=c(0,80), pch=19, axes=F)
abline(h=0.1361, col="red", lwd=1.5)
legend(0, 0.2,c("method1","method2"), cex=0.8,  col=c("blue","red"),
pch=c(19,NA), lty=1);
axis(1)
axis(2,at=c(0,0.10,0.1361,0.2))
