Dear Researchers,

sorry for this simple question. I have a point plot with mean values and i wish to plot line with Standard Deviation as "Whiskers". I calculate the
mean+sd and mean-sd, but i can not figure out the way to add the line.

mydata <-
data .frame (mean = c (0.42,0.41,0.41,0.43,0.45,0.43,0.43,0.42,0.44,0.45,0.45,0.45,0.46,0.43,0.42,0.37,0.44,0.46,0.46,0.39,0.40 ),

sdUP = c (0.58,0.56,0.55,0.57,0.61,0.55,0.57,0.59,0.61,0.60,0.57,0.60,0.62,0.57,0.59,0.56,0.57,0.61,0.61,0.56,0.54 ),

sdDOWN = c (0.26,0.26,0.28,0.29,0.30,0.30,0.29,0.26,0.28,0.31,0.34,0.30,0.31,0.30,0.25,0.19,0.31,0.31,0.31,0.22,0.25 ))

plot(mydata$mean,
   type="o",
   ylab="mean",
   xlab="class")

thanks in advance and sorry for any disturb

If you tried lines() usin either sdUP or sdDOWN you saw nothing because the ylim was set by default using ony hte information in the mean vector.

Try:

> plot(mydata$mean,
+    type="o",
+    ylab="mean",
+    xlab="class", ylim=range(c(mydata$sdUP, mydata$sdDOWN)))
> lines(mydata$sdDOWN, col="blue", lty=3)
> lines(mydata$sdUP, col="blue", lty=3)
