Asymmetric Error Bars Matlab
bars WITHIN a data series I have a tough elusive Excel bar chart question - has anyone been able to find a way around this? 100 "Einstein points" for anyone who can solve this :D I have an Excel spreadsheet with two different data series (each series has 10 values). The resultant excel bar chart I created has 10 pairs of bars (each pair has a red and a yellow vertical bar chart, where each color represents one of asymmetric error bars matplotlib the two series). Now here's the dilemma: I would like to individualize the error bars WITHIN each (red or yellow) data series. In other words, I'd like to specifiy the a unique value for the statistical error bars of each of the 20 vertical bars. This is a problem because by default, if I change the error bar displacement on one bar chart member of a given series, then the error bars of all the other members of the series change to the same value. Help!

You have 10 series of data and you want each error bar for each series to have different values.

Wow! How did you do that? :D It is almost exactly what I am looking for. The only other difference is that for my data some of the confidence intervals are asymmetrical (ie, the error bar deviation upward can be by a different quantity than deviation downward) -- Can your technique be modified to do this?

You can add error bars to data series in a 2-D area, bar, column, line, xy (scatter), and bubble charts. For xy (scatter) and bubble charts, you can display error bars for the x values, the http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/47050-customizing-chart-error-bars-within-data-series.html y values, or both. After you add error bars to a chart, you can change the display and error amount options of the error bars as needed. You can also remove error bars. What do you want to do?

However this produces a graph with some of the error bars passing below zero. A negative value is silly for this data (mean trip times), so I was wondering what is a asymmetric error bars sensible way to graph the data. st.statistics mathematical-writing exposition share|cite|improve this question edited Jul 6 '12 at 8:44 Federico Poloni 8,30823460 asked Nov 10 '09 at 10:50 hoju 12216 1 Perhaps you could clarify what you mean by STD? Is it standard deviation? Also, you could use the [statistics] tag. –Sonia Balagopalan Nov 10 '09 at 12:47 1 Yes, "STD" is an unfortunate acronym. –Theo Johnson-Freyd Nov 10 '09 at 19:04 in the context of a math question, do you really need clarification what STD means? –hoju Nov 10 '09 at 20:30 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 7 down vote accepted Your error bars may be giving you a hint to look more closely at the distribution of your data: it may not be symmetric. For example, if your data is essentially log-normal you could work with the logs of your numbers and the problem will automatically go away. I'm not a fan of error bars. In theory they let you visually do some statistical significance estimates and perhaps give some sense of the underlying data. But there are a lot of subtleties and at least one study has found that even experienced s
