Thank you all for you suggestions. They are all helpful. However, I
have come to a more fundamental problem. Preparing my data to even
make such a graph. I thought I was ready. I will obviously need to
find the n, mean, and confidence interval for my data before I can
plot them. for some of these plots.
I thought perhaps this data manipulation would be easily done in R,
but perhaps I should do it elsewhere and then bring it into R. I have
about 5000 rows & about 30 columns in my csv. I need to find: mean, n,
confidence interval for a to-be-made selection from the entire data set.
I have tried: aggregate, subset, dat$col1=2, etc
Clearer?: I want to select data from my dataset where column1=2. Then
when plotting this data I want to group it by 2 values (out of 4) from
column10.
Hi Michael,
The describe function in the prettyR package might get the summaries you
want. I think you want to set num.desc=c("mean","std.error","valid.n").
Combine describe with the "by" function to perform the subsetting, and
you should get what you want.
Jim
