Greetings, I have a set of bivariate data: one variable (vegetation type) which is categorical, and one (computed annual insolation) which is continuous. Plotting veg_type ~ insolation produces a nice overview of the patterns that I can see in the source data. However, due to the large number

You might prefer boxplot(insolation~veg_type) as a graphic. That will give you quantiles. To get the actual numeric values you could for (i in levels(veg_type)) { print(i) quantile(insolation[veg_type==i]) } see ?quantile for more help. Dylan Beaudette wrote: Greetings, I have a
