dear list!
I KNOW this has been answered a million times before. But, as some might
remember from their "freelance" times as a statistic consultant,
sometimes you're blinded by the facts. I KNOW I have seen this problem
solved, but due to the mental blockade i have been suffering from the
last 3 hours, I can neither find the answer on the mailing list nor on
google. I wrote a function to plot one continuous variable against an
abundance of fish, the data is called water. however, my data covers 9
parameters, and since I am lazy as hell, I decided to write a for loop
to pass all the variables to the function. as usual, the variables and
the data frame cannot be found inside the function.
water<-read.csv("Henni/water-abundance2.csv",sep="\t",header=T)
source("functions.R")
attach(water)
names(water):
[1] "site" "sample" "temp" "pH" "DO" "BOD"
[7] "COD" "no3" "no2" "po4" "N_male" "N_female"
vars<-names(water)[3:10]
par(mfrow=c(4,2))
for (i in vars)
{
comp.plot(i,N_male,DATA=water)
}
comp.plot<-function(parameter,y,DATA){ #this is actually in functions.R
x<-DATA[[parameter]]
y<-DATA[[y]]
plot(y~parameter)
}
and of course, this doesn't work. I am really frustrated by now, since I
have gathered all I could recollect from my past 2 years of R experience
but still, I was not able to find a solution. I'm really dizzy right
now, but since I will not be able to go to sleep unless I have found the
answer to this problem, I urge someone to shed some light on my trivial
problem! I will promise not to post this question ever again, but for
now, I'm just stuck!
Thanks in advance and humble apologies to all that feel offended by my post!
