I'm an R beginner, and I would like to construct a set of boxplots showing database function runtimes.
The data I have is currently is in the following format: function1,12.5,13.11,35.2,11.1.....n function2,21.5,42.22,17.3,14.2....................n ... this is the function name followed by somewhere between 1 and 10,000 runtimes for each function. The number of runtimes is in milliseconds. I can easily reformat the base data to provide it to R in a format such as: function1,12.5 function1,13.11 function1,35.2 ... There are about 120 individual functions. I wish to show the top 20 functions by average runtime (ideally sorted by average runtime descending). Using a boxplot will help show the variation in runtime for each function. I don't know how to read this data into R so that I can construct the boxplots. I'd be also grateful for advice on how to filter the output of the boxplot to show only the top 20.
