Hi, I am a beginner of xyplot() (or lattice package). On one hand, I immediately realized it's a very powerful utility. On the other hand, there are too many things for me to learn. Still haven't figure out a generalization of the syntax and usage under many different circumstances.
Let me give an example dataset: xxx<-cbind(expand.grid(day=0:7,trt=c('A','B','C'),sex=c('M','F')),subject=rep(1:60,each=8)) xxx<-xxx[sort.list(xxx$trt),] y<-c(rnorm(160,15),rnorm(160,10),rnorm(160,5)) dat<-cbind(y=y,xxx) str(dat) 'data.frame': 480 obs. of 5 variables: $ y : num 13.4 15.3 14.4 16.2 15.1 ... $ day : int 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 1 ... $ trt : Factor w/ 3 levels "A","B","C": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ... $ sex : Factor w/ 2 levels "M","F": 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 ... $ subject: int 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 4 ... So this is a typical longitudinal dataset: each subject has measurements for 8 days (0 to 7), there are 3 treatments (A, B and C), and sex factor (M and F). I would like to have 2 plots, one for each sex. Within each plot, I want to plot 3 averaged lines (average of y for each day), one for each treatment group. How can I do this? I tried the following using panel.average(), but it seems that the groups information was not passed automatically to panel.average(). xyplot(y~day|sex, groups=trt, data=dat, type=c('p','g'), panel=function(...) {panel.xyplot(...); panel.average(..., fun=function(x) mean(x,na.rm=T),horizontal=F,col=1:3)}) Appreciate if anyone can help.
