Hi, May be this helps: dat <- read.table(text="Designation Basic ASA .25 ASA .28 ASA .32 TASA .45 TASA .33 TASA .43",sep="",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=FALSE) boxplot(Basic~Designation,data=dat,col=2:3) #or library(ggplot2) ggplot(dat,aes(x=Designation,y=Basic,fill=Designation))+geom_boxplot()
A.K. Hello - I've been away from stat programming for a very long time and am just getting back into it. I'm not used to a non GUI interface which is where I'm running into problems with R. I have a data set that i'd like to use to create boxplots. the dataset sample looks as follows Designation Basic ASA .25 ASA .28 ASA .32 TASA .45 TASA .33 TASA .43 I have my grouping variable under 'designation' that i would like to use to create the boxplot. Could i request some help on the syntax to use after i have read this data file into a variable, say 'data' to group the information as per the grouping variable ? how do i define the grouping variable and use it in the boxplot command ? Any information would be greatly appreciated. in addition, if you could also point me to some basic training guides, that would be helpful as well. Thanks!
