Those are data points that are considered to be outliers. As to how to remove them, that's a tricky question, more as to why than how. The purpose of showing those points in a different way is to emphasize that those points deserve special attention. You do not want to just "make them go away". ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
