Here is my favourite workaround, the advantage is that you do not need any extra packages. The trick is to draw arrows (!) but with little horizontal bars instead of arrowheads (!!!). This not-so-straightforward idea comes from the R Wiki Tips and is reproduced here as a worked-out example. Let's assume you have a vector of "average values" avg and another vector of "standard deviations" sdev, they are of the same length n. Let's make the abscissa just the number of these "measurements", so x <- 1:n. Using these, here come the plotting commands: plot(x, avg, ylim=range(c(avg-sdev, avg+sdev)), pch=19, xlab="Measurements", ylab="Mean +/- SD", main="Scatter plot with std.dev error bars" ) # hack: we draw arrows but with very special "arrowheads" arrows(x, avg-sdev, x, avg+sdev, length=0.05, angle=90, code=3) The result looks like this: In the arrows(...) function length=0.05 i

This can include aesthetics whose values you want to set, not map. See layer for more details. Description Error bars.

With http://docs.ggplot2.org/0.9.3.1/geom_errorbar.html stat="bin", it will attempt to set the y value to the count of cases in each group. This can result in unexpected behavior and will not be allowed in a future version of ggplot2. If you want y to represent counts of cases, use stat="bin" and don't map a variable to y. If you want y to represent values in the data, use stat="identity". See ?geom_bar for examples. (Deprecated; last used in version 0.9.2) p Mapping a variable to y and also using stat="bin".

error bars Two within-subjects variables Note about normed means Helper functions Problem http://cookbook-r.com/Graphs/Plotting_means_and_error_bars_(ggplot2)/ You want to plot means and error bars for a dataset. Solution To make graphs with ggplot2, the data must be in a https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2000-November/009029.html data frame, and in “long” (as opposed to wide) format. If your data needs to be restructured, see this page for more information. error bar Sample data The examples below will the ToothGrowth dataset. Note that dose is a numeric column here; in some situations it may be useful to convert it to a factor. tg <- ToothGrowth head(tg) error bar plot #> len supp dose #> 1 4.2 VC 0.5 #> 2 11.5 VC 0.5 #> 3 7.3 VC 0.5 #> 4 5.8 VC 0.5 #> 5 6.4 VC 0.5 #> 6 10.0 VC 0.5 library(ggplot2) First, it is necessary to summarize the data. This can be done in a number of ways, as described on this page. In this case, we’ll use the summarySE() function defined on that page, and also at the bottom of this page. (The code for the summarySE function must be entered before it is called here). # summarySE provides the standard deviation, standard error of the mean, and a (default 95%) confidence interval tgc <- summarySE(tg, measurevar="len"
