Hello, dear R users. What is the easiest and the most visualli understandable way to analize dependency of numerical variable on two factors? Is the boxplot(y~f1+f2) the good way? It seems that this formula does not work.

interaction.plot() is a good start.

No, nor is it documented to: the help page is there to help you. You need a single factor as the grouping, so make one via an interaction. boxplot(y ~ f1:f2) should work. E.g. library(MASS) boxplot(FL ~ sex:sp, data=crabs) Another idea is to use lattice's bwplot. E.g. library(lattice) bwplot(FL ~ sex | sp, data=crabs)

Does not work: ???????????? ?? if (any(out[nna])) stats[c(1, 5)] <- range(x[!out], na.rm = TRUE) : ?????????????????????? ????????????????, ?? ?????????? TRUE/FALSE ????????????????: Warning messages: 1: + not meaningful for factors in: Ops.factor(x[floor(d)], x[ceiling(d)]) 2: < not meaningful for factors in: Ops.factor(x, (stats[2] - coef * iqr)) 3: > not meaningful for factors in: Ops.factor(x, (stats[4] + coef * iqr)) Hm...

That's not the point. The scales may differ significantly, also this is not conviniet for many factors.
I carefully tested my suggestions in the current version of R, 2.2.1, before posting. They DO work, and as you have not even told us your version of R, we have no idea what you have broken on your R installation.

I'm sorry. This works. Thank you. Are there any other visualisation ways in R? I'm sorry if this question is not good enough for this mailing list.

Ideally it would be a tree of factors with mean as leaves. May be you could hint me direction to search for a graph.
