Error.bar Function R
For each X-value I calculated the average Y-value and the standard deviation (sd) of each Y-value x = 1:5 y = c(1.1, 1.5, 2.9, 3.8, 5.2) sd = c(0.1, 0.3, 0.2, 0.2, 0.4) plot (x, y) How can I use the standard deviation to add error bars to each datapoint of my plot? r plot statistics standard-deviation share|improve this question edited Oct 16 '14 at 3:43 Craig Finch 11417 asked Feb 25 '13

The you will have a different length of the small bars on the right an the left side (the epsilon follows the x-values). You should better use the errbar function from the Hmisc package: d = data.frame( x = c(1:5) , y = c(1.1, 1.5, 2.9, 3.8, 5.2) , sd = c(0.2, 0.3, 0.2, 0.0, 0.4) ) ##install.packages("Hmisc", dependencies=T) library("Hmisc") # add error bars (without adjusting yrange) plot(d$x, d$y, type="n") with ( data = d , expr = errbar(x, y, y+sd, y-sd, add=T, pch=1, cap=.1) ) # new plot (adjusts Yrange automatically) with ( data = d , expr = errbar(x, y, y+sd, y-sd, add=F, pch=1, cap=.015, log="x") ) share|improve this answer answered Sep 6 '13 at 14:21 R_User 3,20984683 add a comment| Did you find this question interesting?

One way that we can construct these graphs is using R's default packages. Barplots using base R Let's start by viewing our dataframe: here we will be finding the mean miles per gallon by number of cylinders and number of gears. View(mtcars) We begin by aggregating our data by cylinders and gears and specify that we want to return the mean, standard deviation, and number of observations for each group: myData <- aggregate(mtcars$mpg, by = list(cyl = mtcars$cyl, gears = mtcars$gear), FUN = function(x) c(mean = mean(x), sd = sd(x), n = length(x))) After this, we'll need to do a little manipulation since the previous f
error bars Two within-subjects variables Note about normed means Helper functions Problem You want to plot means http://cookbook-r.com/Graphs/Plotting_means_and_error_bars_(ggplot2)/ and error bars for a dataset. Solution To make graphs https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2000-November/009029.html with ggplot2, the data must be in a data frame, and in “long” (as opposed to wide) format. If your data needs to be restructured, see this page for more information. Sample data The examples below will the ToothGrowth dataset. Note error bar that dose is a numeric column here; in some situations it may be useful to convert it to a factor. tg <- ToothGrowth head(tg) #> len supp dose #> 1 4.2 VC 0.5 #> 2 11.5 VC 0.5 error bars in #> 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", groupvars=c("supp","dose")) tgc #> supp dose N len sd se ci #> 1 OJ 0.5 10 13.23 4
That's certainly a simpler solution. It might be worth wrapping a few arrows() calls up in some kind of simple errorbar function (just so it's slightly more accessible to newcomers). The only two things my function did that these calls don't do is (1) to size the plot appropriately so the upper and lower limits of the errors are within the plot, (2) to draw the segments/arrows first so that one can add points with pch=19 and bg=par("bg") to get open points without lines going through them.
