Dear R gurus..
I had tried out some suggestions sent to me privately..and unfortunately,
they did not work..

To use a condiition in a subset, the associated dataframe needs to be attached and detached, which I found cumbersome to use if using more than 1 dataframe (with different dimensions) with same condition. I would highly appreciate your suggestions to overcome this problem.. Please see my example of usage I am trying to implement. Please note that the "cond' takes in the
character instead of logical values...

cond1 <- 'group==1&sales>200'
cond2 <- 'group==2&sales>200'
cond3 <- 'group==3&sales>200'

I do not see that you have _ever_ offered a sample dataset in this thread, so this suggestion remains untested. Please report what happens when you try:


d1 <- subset(dat,subset=eval(parse(text=cond1)))
plot(y~x,data=dat,subset=eval(parse(text=cond1)),type='b')
lines(y~x,data=dat,subset=eval(parse(text=cond2)))
points (y ~ x ,data =dat,subset=eval(parse(text=paste(cond1,cond2)),sep='&'),col='blue')

Probably needs to be tested with this modification:
points(y~x, data=dat, subset=eval(parse(text=paste(cond1,cond2, sep='&'))), col='blue')

And I am further guessing that the set will be empty since it seems likely that: (group==1 & group==2) == TRUE, so perhaps you should reconsider your logic.



points(y~x,data=d1,subset=eval(parse(text=cond3)),col='red')

If I try the above, I get the following error message:
*Error in subset.data.frame(dat, cond) : 'subset' must evaluate to logical*

If you could also suggest references implementing similar code, I would
highly appreciate it.

?parse

Thanks so much,

Santosh

Dear Rxperts!

I was wondering if it is possible to write a function which can take in
argument of a subset or condition.. Of course, I am aware of the
alternate
methods like coplot, par.plot, xyplot etc... I am specifically
interested in
using conditions/subsets with "plot"..

A simple fragmented example is shown here..

pltit <- function(y,x,dat,dat1,dat2,sbst) {
plot(y~x, data=dat, subset=sbst)
lines(y~x,data=dat1, subset=subst)
points(y~x,data=dat2,subset=subst)
}

pltit(profit,weeks,dat=zone1, sbst='group==1&sales>200')

Could you also suggest pointers/references/examples on efficient ways to
plot simulated data overlaid with observed data?

Have a good weekend!
