Thanks David. I used the wtd.quantile in Hmisc. Works great and is easy for
a newbie like me.
I am attempting to send the quantile values to boxplot, and it works for the
most part. My problem is that one of my extreme values appears as a dot
instead of the whisker. It basically looks like an outlier dot. I
attached the image.
Here is my specific example:
bxp.data - c(0,0.9,3.5,9.4,30.6)
boxplot(bxp.data)

If anyone has any ideas to make my extreme valu behave like a proper
whisker, please let me know.
Thanks,
Sean

Hi,
I would like to make a box and whisker plot but use a sample weight
for each
observation. I've searched around a bit and have not found a method
of
doing this.
Anyone have any advice?
There are a variety of ways to get weighted quantiles. Two that have
come up in recent r-help postings are the facilities in the quantreg
package and wtd.quantile in Hmisc. Once you have calculated the five
numbers that define a box-whisker plot they can be passed to bxp.
