Graphing Populations
Graph the data, Graph the data, Graph the data.....Here is a graphing method I've found useful when looking at data sets.
#Simple
#set the dir to where you mydata is
setwd("c:/R")
#LOAD DATA NOTE a copy of the data is attached below on this web page.
mydata <- read.table("example-data.csv", header=TRUE, sep=",",)
# Here we tell it we are going to do 3 graphs in 3 rows and 1 column
par(mfrow=c(3,1))
#NOTCHED BOX PLOT
boxplot(mydata$MW01, notch=TRUE,
# Now we are going to put it on its side
horizontal=TRUE,
# Gives the title and axis names
main="Title", xlab="Box X-Lab", ylab="axis label = Y-Lab",
#Sets the colors
col=(c("gold","darkgray", "darkorchid1", "cyan", "white", "red","limegreen", "magenta", "chartreuse1", "hotpink1")))
#DENSITY PLOT
d <- density(mydata$MW01)
# Gives the title
plot(d, main="Denisty Plot Title")
polygon(d, col="red", border="blue")
#HISTOGRAM NOTE you can add breaks=x into the line below and set the number of bins.
hist(mydata$MW01, xlab="Hist X Lab", main="Histogram of X", col="red")
# Done
# Done
Below is the spreadsheet. All you have to do to do another column of data is change $MW01 to the column you need.
