But we would like to change the default values of boxplot graphics with the mean, the mean + standard deviation, the mean - S.D., the min and the max values.
Here is an example solved using ggplot2 package. Plus here are represented points (the single values) jittered horizontally.
the code doesnt work for me

ReplyDeleteHave you also considered changing the value of pi to 2.0 and renaming the mean as "the Oxford-Meier-Blubb"? Please, don't do any of these three. There are enough recipients struggeling with the meaning of a boxplot. If there finally are boxplot-like-figures that are not boxplots, it's going to hurt. Please find an alternative way to display the results.
Cheers,

ReplyDeleteat the end of the code, type: print(p1)
thanks for rectifying, now the code rocks
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I'm writing a report with a deadline coming soon, and this is exactly what I needed!
ReplyDeleteCiao!
Hi, great post, but... i have a question, your function calculate the mean-sd, mean+sd, which i consider is the box of the boxplot, and min and max values, which i supose are the bars... but why the graph title says: 95%CI? not should be "mean +-SD?
ReplyDeleteyour point is valid! it is not 95% CI. This is 68% and if you want to have 95% CI you should change the function to mean(x) -+ 3*sd(x)
DeletePlease elaborate it more . Ist time reader who dnt know about this could not understand it
