如何在R中的箱线图中传播点？

Question

I am working on data distribution which has following follwing points.

input<-read.table("infile",header=TRUE,sep="\\t")

table(input)

0.786333        1  1.04453  1.06159  1.33277  1.53607  2.25893 
  49      938        1        1       36       16      166

if i plot box plot for it, i get single line for lowest datum, highest datum and median.

boxplot(input)

Is there any way to distribute points by normalization so that can have better boxplot with distinct boundary for lowest datum, highest datum and median?

Answer 1

You clearly have a biomodal distribution, I don't think a boxplot is a useful summary here

A density plot is more useful

plot(density(zz))

You could also consider a violin plot which is a bit of a mix between a kernel density plot and boxplot.

Using the vioplot package

 library(vioplot)
 violplot(zz)
