Dear all,
I want to create a boxplot with whiskers. I want to compare several
studies. For each study I have
1. mean
2. standard deviation (sd)
3. name
4. number of observations (n)
How can i do this in R ?
normally I would type
bxp
or
boxplot
but this is not allowed when I only know mean and sd.
(1) Read the help for bxp.
(2) Think about what you want your box and whiskers to *represent* given
that you only know the summary statistics. (Is it *really* meaningful
to create a boxplot in such circumstances?)
(3) If you can figure that out, then create an appropriate argument (a
list) for bxp() and call bxp() with that argument.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
