Hi, please forgive me but I am completely new to R and have no experience with
it other than a 3 day training course but I need to use it for an urgent
project and don't have time to learn a whole new language before the deadline,
although I hope to get there soon.
My question is this. I have a dataset in Excel containing data from 20 sites.
The data comes from loggers recording every half hour for a year. So my Excel
file has 20 columns each with the name of the site as the header and each
column contains the data recorded throughout the year. What I want to do is
show the variation in that data at each site. So I would have a boxplot showing
site 1, site 2, site 3... etc across the x axis and then the variable data
(which in this case in air temperature) on the y axis so I can see what range
in temperatures occurred throughout the year, what where the max, min, outliers
etc. I have trawled the Internet looking for a code that will allow me to do
this but all I can find is plots that refer to data where you are looking at a
range in data with a category (like range in mpg with cylinder size) whereas I
want to so look at the data for all of my sites just on one plot. I know this
is possible because I have seen it down by someone else b!
ut I don't know where to start. Does anyone have any code that would do this
or at least know where I could go? Like I say, I am a complete begging so
writing code is a brand new thing for me. Many, many thanks to anyone who helps
me with this one.
Many thanks
