Re: [R] sample weight for box plot?
Thanks David. I used the wtd.quantile in Hmisc. Works great and is easy for a newbie like me. I am attempting to send the quantile values to boxplot, and it works for the most part. My problem is that one of my extreme values appears as a dot instead of the whisker. It basically looks like an outlier dot. I attached the image. Here is my specific example: bxp.data - c(0,0.9,3.5,9.4,30.6) boxplot(bxp.data) http://n4.nabble.com/file/n1008453/boxplot.example.bmp If anyone has any ideas to make my extreme valu behave like a proper whisker, please let me know.

[R] sample weight for box plot?
Hi, I would like to make a box and whisker plot but use a sample weight for each observation. I've searched around a bit and have not found a method of doing this. Anyone have any advice?
