Dear R-community,

Using bwplot, how can I put the whiskers at percentile 5 and percentile 95,
in place of the default position coef=1.5??

Using panel=panel.bwstrip, whiskerpos=0.05, from the package agsemisc gives satisfaction, but changes the appearance of my boxplot and works with an old
version of R, what I don’t want, and I didn’t find the option in
box.umbrella parameters

Nope, you won't find it even if you search harder, but you do have a lattice path forward. Just as base function boxplot() does the calculations and then plots with bxp(), by default panel.bwplot sends the data to boxplot.stats, but panel.bwplot also allows you to specify an alternate function that returns plotting parameters differently as long as those conforms to the requirements for structure. You can look at boxplot.stats (it's not that big) and then construct an alternative. The line you would need to alter would be the one starting with: stats<-stats::fivenum(...), since you are changing the values returned by fivenum(). You might get away with just changing stats[1] and stats[5] to your revised specifications, although it has occurred to me that you might get some of those "out" dots inside your whiskers. (Fixing that would not be too hard once you are inside boxplot.stats().

Seemed to work for me with your data (at least the extent of plotting a nice 3 x 2 panel display. All I did was redefine an nboxplot.stats by inserting this line after the line cited above:

stats[c(1,5)]<- quantile(x, probs=c(0.05, 0.95))

and then added an argument ..., stats=nboxplot.stats) inside your panel.bwplot.

Many thanks

Here is the code:

library(lattice)
ex <- data.frame(v1 = log(abs(rt(180, 3)) + 1),
                v2 = rep(c("2007", "2006", "2005"), 60),
                z  = rep(c("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"), e = 30))

ex2 <- data.frame(v1b = log(abs(rt(18, 3)) + 1),
                v2 = rep(c("2007", "2006", "2005"), 6),
                z  = rep(c("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f"), e = 3))
ex3 <- merge(ex, ex2, by=c("v2","z"))
D2007 <- ex3[ex3$z=="d" & ex3$v2==2007, ]
D2006 <- ex3[ex3$z=="d" & ex3$v2==2006, ]
C2007 <- ex3[ex3$z=="c" & ex3$v2==2007, ]


quantile(D2007$v1, probs = c(0.05, 0.95))
quantile(D2006$v1, probs = c(0.05, 0.95))
quantile(C2007$v1, probs = c(0.05, 0.95))

bwplot(v2 ~ v1 | z, data = ex3, layout=c(3,2), X = ex3$v1b,
pch = "|",
par.settings = list(
plot.symbol = list(alpha = 1, col = "transparent",cex = 1,pch = 20)),
panel = function(x, y, ..., X, subscripts){
panel.grid(v = -1, h = 0)
panel.bwplot(x, y, ..., subscripts = subscripts)
X <- X[subscripts]
xmax =max(x)
X <- tapply(X, y, unique)
Y <- tapply(y, y, unique)
tg <- table(y)
panel.points(X, Y, cex=3, pch ="|" , col = "red")
#vcount <- tapply(v1, v2, length)
panel.text((xmax-0.2), (Y-0.15), labels = paste("N=", tg))
})
