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| up vote 19 down vote A solution with ggplot2 : qplot(x,y)+geom_errorbar(aes(x=x, ymin=y-sd, ymax=y+sd), width=0.25) share|improve this answer answered Feb 25 '13 at 9:06 juba 24.3k56081 add a comment| up vote 18 down vote You can use segments to add the bars in base graphics. Here epsilon controls the line across the top and bottom of the line. plot (x, y, ylim=c(0, 6)) epsilon = 0.02 for(i in 1:5) { up = y[i] + sd[i] low = y[i] - sd[i] segments(x[i],low , x[i], up) segments(x[i]-epsilon, up , x[i]+e

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 function returned matrices instead of vectors myData <- do.call(data.frame, myData) And now let's compute the standard error for each group. We can

I just encountered this issue revising a paper for submission and figured I'd share my code. The following simple function will plot reasonable error bars on a bar plot. error bars in PLAIN TEXT R: error.bar <- function(x, y, upper, lower=upper, length=0.1,...){ if(length(x) != length(y) | length(y) !=length(lower) | length(lower) != length(upper)) stop("vectors must be same length") arrows(x,y+upper, x, y-lower, angle=90, code=3, length=length, ...) } Now let's use it. First, I'll create 5 means drawn from a Gaussian random variable with unit mean and variance. I want to point out another mild annoyance with the way that R handles bar plots, and how to fix it. By default, barplot() suppresses the X-axis. Not sure why. If you want the axis to show up with the same line style as the Y-axis, include the argument axis.lty=1, as below. By creating an object to hold your bar plot, you capture the midpoints of the bars along the abscissa that can later be used to plot the error bars. PLAIN TEXT R: y <- rnorm(500, mean=1) y <- matrix(y,100,5) y.means <- apply(y,2,mean) y.sd <- apply(y,2,sd) barx
