[R] plot in package psych with function error.bars.by

[William Revelle]

Dear Tham,

The example you were running was filtering out the subjects less than 10 years old and more than 80.  Somehow you suppressed this filtering which lead to the error message.  The filtering was done to avoid the problem you detected.

I have fixed error.bars.by so that it now will just complain if there is only one case (and thus no error) in a cell.  In this case, it will not draw the “cats eye” error bars.

The Mac version of psych_1.4.6.18 is now on the personalty.project.org/r   server  repository.  The PC version  is at personality-project/r/src/contrib/  as a zip file:  psych_1.4.6.18.zip

For a Mac, just set your other repository to personalty.project.org/r and install the source version.  For a PC you need to ftp or http to personality-project/r/src/contrib/ to get the zip file.

Once again, when you discover a problem with the psych package, make sure to write me directly as well as the list.  You will get much faster turnaround.

Bill
