Dear list, I was wondering if there is a function to plot league tables, sometimes also known as "caterpillar plots"? A league table is conceptually very similar to a box plot. One difference is that the inter-quartile ranges are not shown. If there isn't such a function a first attempt for a "selfmade" plot would be to tell boxplot not to plot boxes (sounds silly isn't it?). I've tried the option "boxwex=0" but the result is unsatisfactory.
An example for a league table can be found in Marshall, Spiegelhalter [1998], Reliability of league tables of in vitro fertilisation clinics, BMJ1998;316:1701-1705, you may find it at http://bmj.bmjjournals.com Thanks in advance Eik Vettorazzi ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
