manyboxplot: Boxplot-like figure for many groups

Description

Boxplot-like figure for many groups, with lines connecting selected quantiles.

Usage

manyboxplot(x, probs = c(0.05, 0.1, 0.25), dotcol = "blue",
  linecol = c("black", "red", "green", "orange"), ...)

Arguments

x

Matrix of data, with columns indicating the groups.

probs

Numeric vecotr of probabilities with values in [0,1). Quantiles will be symmetric, and the median will always be included.

dotcol

Color for median

linecol

Line colors, same length as probs

...

Additional graphics parameters

Value

• None.

Details

Calculates quantiles of the columns of x and then plots dots or lines at median plus lines at a series of quantiles, using grayplot for the actual plot.

mu <- c(rnorm(50, 0, 0.3), rnorm(50, 2, 0.3)) # vector of means
x <- t(matrix(rnorm(1000*100, mu), ncol=1000))
manyboxplot(x, c(0.05, 0.25), ylim=range(x),
           dotcol=c("blue","green")[(1:100 > 50) + 1],
           hlines=seq(-4, 6, by=2),
           vlines=c(1, seq(20, 100, by=20)))
