Help needed to format data for boxplot time-series
Petr and David, Thank you so much! Both approaches do precisely what I need. I knew there had to be a very simple way to do this, but I am still very much a novice and struggle with data management at times. Also, thank you for the suggestion to use dput(yourdata) or dput(yourdata[1:20,]) -- I knew such a thing existed and search for it, but just could not recall the 'dput' command name. Regards, Tom

Hi It is preferable to use output of dput(yourdata) or dput(yourdata[1:20,]) so that we can use your data. From your description maybe boxplot(split(yourdata$value, yourdata$valid_time)) can give you what you want. Regards Petr
-----Original Message----- From: R-help [mailto:r-help-bounces at r-project.org] On Behalf Of Thomas Adams Sent: Wednesday, June 1, 2016 2:07 PM To: r-help at r-project.org Subject: [R] Help needed to format data for boxplot time-series All: I have used R in combination with GRASS GIS spatial data (using spgrass) many times in the past to generate a 'time series' of boxplots, to show variations over time. But I have a new problem, not involving spatial
data, but
rather, true time-series data (snippet shown below). So, what I want to
do is
to generate a 'time-series' of boxplots based on the column 'valid_time'
for
the 'values' column data. What I can not figure out is how to either
select or
format the data for the series of individual boxplots. Somehow it seems I need to use reshape; do I group the data within a
loop?
This does not seem efficient. The full set of data I have covers a 30
day period
at 6-hourly time steps with 9320 rows
