Hi Petr, David and John,
Thanks for the reply. I am sorry that I did not make it very clear.
"One on top of another" may not be the right expression.
Actually what I wanted is the second option of David's. There
are 10 columns in the plot and, in each column, there are three boxplots.
Different colors can be used to distinguish the three boxplots in the
same column.
John, when I run the code, I got the message below:
Error in rq.fit.br(x, y, tau = tau, ...) : Singular design matrix
In addition: Warning message:
In is.na(rows) : is.na() applied to non-(list or vector) of type 'NULL'
Thanks again, everyone.
Hannah
