Hi! I have a dataframe like this:
dat=data.frame(Age=c(rep(30,8),rep(40,8),rep(50,8)),Period=rep(seq(2005,2008,1),3),Rate=c(seq(1,8,1),seq(9,16,1),seq(17,24,1)),Sex=rep(c(rep(0,4),rep(1,4)),3))attach(dat)dat
   Age Period Rate Sex1   30   2005    1   02   30   2006    2   03   30   2007    3   04   30   2008    4   05   30   2005    5   16   30   2006    6   17   30   2007    7   18   30   2008    8   19   40   2005    9   010  40   2006   10   011  40   2007   11   012  40   2008   12   013  40   2005   13   114  40   2006   14   115  40   2007   15   116  40   2008   16   117  50   2005   17   018  50   2006   18   019  50   2007   19   020  50   2008   20   021  50   2005   21   122  50   2006   22   123  50   2007   23   124  50   2008   24   1
And I can do these separated graphs by sex:
xyplot(Rate ~ Period, data=subset(dat,Sex==0), groups = Age,       type = "b",       auto.key =  list(cex=0.8,border=TRUE,size=3,cex.title=1,space = "right", title="Age", points = FALSE , lines = TRUE),       xlab = "Period", ylab = "Rate",ylim=c(0,25),       main = "Mortality Rates for 100000 inhabitants - Men",       scales=list(tck=c(1,0)) )xyplot(Rate ~ Period, data=subset(dat,Sex==1), groups = Age,       type = "b",       auto.key =  list(cex=0.8,border=TRUE,size=3,cex.title=1,space = "right", title="Age", points = FALSE , lines = TRUE),       xlab = "Period", ylab = "Rate",ylim=c(0,25),       main = "Mortality Rates for 100000 inhabitants - Women",       scales=list(tck=c(1,0)) )
BUT I WANT THEM IN THE SAME GRAPH, IN THE SAME PANEL, TO BE COMPARED, FOR EXAMPLE WITH THE SAME COLOUR FOR THE SAME AGE GROUPS,AND A COMPLETE LINE FOR SEX=0 AND A DOTTED LINE FOR SEX=1
I TRIED DIFFERENT THINGS BUT NOTHING WORKED FOR ME. I USED "PANEL" OPTIONS, OR XY.SUPERPOSE, BUT I DON`T KNOW HOW TO USE THOSE THINGS PROPERLY.
THANK YOU!!!
