Hi there,
I have a set of data that looks like this:
As1988<-c(1254.0, 22.0, 4.2, 1081.0, 35.0, 6.0, 1772.0, 192.0, 7.6)
The mean of this (as calculated by R) is: 485.9778
The median of this (as calculated by R) is: 35
If I then make a beanplot(As1988), I find that the beanline (average) is now
77.68561 while the beanline (median) is 35.39739 (using the locator function
to check the graph and log axis).
While I can understand the small discrepancy of the median(mouse hovering
over the line), I am at a loss to explain the huge difference between the
means. Is this a flaw in the package or is there something I am missing?
My gut feeling is that the log scales are affecting the calculations
somehow.
Sincerely,
Michael Hopgood
