If you had provided reproducible code, you would already have your answer. You should spend a few hours with one or more of the freely available R tutorials. In your original post you have the line:
prd<-predict.lm(fit,newdata,interval=c("confidence"),level=0.95) ?predict.lm tells you that the function returns a matrix (in your case prd) so either of the following should work: library(plotrix) plotCI( x=1:15, y=prd$fit, ui=prd$upr, li=prd$lwr) or plotCI( x=1:15, y=prd[,1], ui=prd[,3], li=prd[,2]) This is very basic stuff. ---------------------------------------------- David L Carlson Associate Professor of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77843-4352 > -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-bounces@r- > project.org] On Behalf Of liang....@us.pwc.com > Sent: Monday, October 08, 2012 4:16 PM > To: joeclar...@hotmail.com > Cc: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: Re: [R] How to use Lines function to draw the error bars? > > Thanks > > since the 'lwr' and 'upr' are produced from the 'predict' function, do > I > need to convert the table into a data frame, then define the 'lwr' and > 'upr' as the objects? > > upr<-data.frame(prd[,3]) > fix(upr) > lwr<-data.frame(prd[,2]) > fix(lwr) > y<-data.frame(prd[,1]) > fix(y) > plotCI(x=1:15,y=y,uiw=upr,liw=lwr,err=x) > > > but I got the following error message: > > Error in xy.coords(x, y, xlabel, ylabel, log) : > 'x' and 'y' lengths differ > In addition: Warning message: > In if (err == "y") z <- y else z <- x : > the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used > > > > > From: Joseph Clark <joeclar...@hotmail.com> > To: Liang Che/US/TLS/PwC@Americas-US > Cc: <r-help@r-project.org> > Date: 10/08/2012 05:06 PM > Subject: RE: [R] How to use Lines function to draw the error > bars? > > > > In my example code, 'fit' and 'upr' and 'lwr' are just the names of the > data vectors you gave as an example.
