Re: [R] Make a box-whiskers plot in R with 5 variables, color coded.

Not a problem at all. I figured the motley crue here couldn't be bracketed
into narrow categories.

An apparent thesis demonstrated here would be that we all speak a slightly
different form of English.

That is correct, though I've generally heard braces heard called
"curly braces."

There's a lot of fog in the air.  Properly, the use in the USA is as
described by Martin.  But ever since the late '60s there has been a
de-emphasis of linguistic precision and a tendency to "good enough."
Sad.

I think this is what Americans are taught, but I can never remember
which is which. I use round brackets, square brackets, and squiggly
brackets, which are memorable, and even if you're not familiar with
the terms you can easily understand what I mean.

Re: [R] Make a box-whiskers plot in R with 5 variables, color coded.

[Michael Dewey]

As a speaker of the dialect of British English current in southern 
England I think:


1 - the generic term for all three is brackets. As a child I was taught 
the precedence rules for arithmetic operators by the mnemonic BODMAS 
(the O stands for 'of')
2 - careful speakers of the dialect who know all three use exactly the 
terms used in the canton of Zuerich by Martin as he uses them
3 - I would use square brackets and curly brackets to a non-technical 
audience but I could not bring myself to say round brackets

Martin,

The above is how I would refer to each.

Re: [R] Make a box-whiskers plot in R with 5 variables, color coded.

[PIKAL Petr]

Hi

I do not see any problem. Due to HTML posting we are not able to decipher what 
you are missing. Probably right parentheses.

I would start from beginning by

boxplot(data)

and gradually add required colour and other items to your boxplot.

Cheers
Petr

As with your experience, Clint and Martin, but my online experience is that 
those speaking "English English" often refer to "(" as "brackets". As a result 
I generally now call them square-brackets to avoid ambiguity.

Re: [R] Make a box-whiskers plot in R with 5 variables, color coded.

[John Sorkin]

On this side of the Atlantic, the symbols ( or ) are properly called 
parenthesis not brackets. Consider the expression parenthetical expression, 
which means something enclosed in parentheses.

These things are called parentheses because of what they do, not what they are. 
A parenthesis is any word or phrase inserted as an explanation or afterthought 
into text that would be is grammatically complete without it, usually bounded 
by punctuation. The bounding punctuation marks are then called parentheses, and 
can be round, square, or curly brackets, dashes, or just commas.

So (),  [], {}, - ... -  and , ... , are _all_ pairs of parentheses in 
grammatical usage. 

Three of them are also kinds of bracket, but not the only kinds. 

There's a disturbingly extensive article on it at 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracket#Names_for_various_bracket_symbols

which suggests to me that the terms are unlikely to be standardised quickly.

Just as there are several types of punctuation marks, 
, ; : .
also called comma, semi-colon, colon, period (or full stop on the east side of 
the Atlantic),
so to are there two types of brackets
[   )  
also called square brackets, parenthesis.
 
It is clear that a ) although is a type of bracket it is called a parenthesis, 
just as , is called a comma, which is a type of punctuation mark.

According to http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/words/brackets
I gather that to avoid ambiguity and/or confusion one could/would use round 
brackets for () (parentheses).

I intended to say that I call "[" and "]" square-brackets.

Re: [R] Make a box-whiskers plot in R with 5 variables, color coded.

Hi,
My understanding is:

() - parentheses
{} - braces
[] - square brackets
<> - angle brackets

Hmm... I once learned

 '()' =: parenthesis/es
 '[]' =: bracket(s)
 '{}' =: brace(s)

Of course, I'm not a native English speaker, and my teacher(s) /
teaching material may have been biased ... but, as all three
symbol pairs play an important role in R, I think it would be
really really helpful,  if we could agree on using the same
precise English here.

I'm happy to re-learn, but I'd really like to end up with three

 parentheses", ... but I'd hope we can do without the extra adjective.)

I have tried:


   boxplot(data, las = 2, col =

   c("red", "blue", "black", "aquamarine1", "darkorange3"),

   at = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5), par(mar = c(12, 5, 4, 2) + 0.1),

   names = c("Meeting1", "Meeting2", "Meeting3", "Meeting4","Meeting5")


and have gotten a '+' at the end meaning I am missing something.


I used a modify version of the code I found on R-Help for Box-Whiskers plot
formation 


The code this blogger used was

   boxplot(data, ylab =“Oxigen (%)”, xlab =“Time”, las = 2,

   col =
 c(“red”,“sienna”,“palevioletred1″,“royalblue2″,“red”,“sienna”,“palevioletred1″,

   “royalblue2″,“red”,“sienna”,“palevioletred1″,“royalblue2″),

at = c(1,2,3,4,  6,7,8,9, 11,12,13,14), par(mar = c(12, 5, 4, 2) +
0.1),

names = c(“Station 1″,“Station 2″,“Station 3″,“Station 4″,“Station


1″,“Station 2″,“Station 3″,“Station 4″,“Station 1″,“Station
2″,“Station

 3″,“Station 4″))


I am trying to use the code above to create a five different
box-and-whiskers plots color-coded. I don't need the "Station 1" or
"Station 2" labels but I used this code as a starting point for the code I
wanted write.  .


I wanted the y-axis to read "Number of People Attended" instead of "Oxigen
(%)"


and the x-axis to refer to the particular meeting in question:


   Meeting1, Meeting2, Meeting3, Meeting4, Meeting5


which corresponds to variables var1, var2, var3, var4, var5.


Each of the box and whiskers would show the median number, along with
interquartile values, of each of these Meetings. The color coding is not
necessarily but I think would make it a bit easier to read for observers.

I apologize again for the convoluted reply and the HTML error.

You are missing the closing bracket on the boxplot() command.
Just finish with a ')'

[R] Make a box-whiskers plot in R with 5 variables, color coded.

[Dmitri Leybman]

I have a spreadsheet with five different columns standing for five
different variables:

Variable 1 Variable 2 Variable 3 Variable 4 Variable 5 0 0 7 1 0 0 0 7 0 0 1
1 8 2 0 5 5 8 0 0 1 4 8 1 0 4 5 8 0 0 0 1 7 2 1
I am trying to create five box and whiskers plots on a single graph with a
five x-label ticks named for each one of
the variables along with color coding. The names for the x-label would be
"Meeting"[ pertains to Variable1] "Meeting2"[pertains to Variable 2]
Meeting3[pertains to Variable 3], Meeting4[pertains to Variable4],
Meeting5[pertains to Variable5].

I have tried:

boxplot(data, las = 2, col =
c("red", "blue", "black", "aquamarine1", "darkorange3")
, at = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5), par(mar = c(12, 5, 4, 2) + 0.1),
names = c("Meeting 1", "'Meeting2", "Meeting3", "Meeting4","Meeting5")


Error: unexpected string constant in:
"boxplot(data, las=2, col= c('red', 'blue', 'red', 'red', red')
boxplot(data, las=2, col= c('"

Hmm, at face value, that should just become part of the label...
