Dear all,
a simple question about boxplot() function,
on how not to display a set of values (outliers), but keep the same median
of the original dataset on the display ;
more precisely :
given a dataset : 1,2,3,4,5,6, 100, 200,300
the median is : 5
after removing the extreme values : 100, 200, 300
the median is 3.5,
but would still like to display a boxplot with median of 5. would this be
possible ? thank you !
Hi bogdan,
You could do something like this:
x<-c(1,2,3,4,5,6,100,200,300)
x_box<-boxplot(x,plot=FALSE)
x_box$stats<-matrix(c(1,3,5,5.5,6),ncol=1)
x_box$out<-NA
bxp(x_box)
Note that the "box" may not represent what you want.
Jim
