Error bars, error more.

I have updated to my Numbers after Mavericks update. Before that I can use my Numbers smoothly, but after an update, I found that some of my old files cannot open with the new version of Numbers. Furthermore, the error bars of the graph seem to have multiple problems. My program shuts down almost everytime I try to add error bars. And if it does not shut down, one or two bars diappear, e.g., when I added 6 error bars, only 5 showed up, skipping one bar in the middle, and the last error has never shown up. I guess it's the software problem and I hope that Apple will fix it soon. But if any of you know how to troubleshoot these problems, I greatly appreaciate.

XY Graph, 2D Error Bar, Legend, Multi Plot Help? Please modify the VI

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST and HELP!
Please help with this VI and make it an instructive example for me and other novices like me who come across this typical example.
A typical problem in plotting data is as follows: On the SAME plot (Y-axis = Amplitude vs. X-axis = Time), plot the curves Amp1, Amp2, Amp3, ... coming from sample1, sample2, sample3, ...
Furthermore, there is Error1, Error2, Error3, ... associated with Amp1, Amp2, Amp3,...., which also needs to be plotted. In order to distinguish between these curves, one may use different
colors and show a legend that reads Amp1 (say black), Amp2 (say red), and Amp3 (say green). The plot then becomes complete and conveys data very conveniently.
The attached VI makes an attempt to plot Amp1 and Amp2 using XY Graph and also 2D Error Bar plot (to show error bars). There is one slight problem. The legend does not show what it is supposed
to show. Can someone fix this? If I plot two curves, the legend should show Amp1 and Amp2, if I plot three curves, the legend should show Amp1, Amp2, Amp3, and so on.
I don't want to see the default Plot 0, Plot 1, or whatever. Also, it would be nice to dynamically control the symbol, color, curve style etc, as we keep adding more and more curves to the plot.
Once this problem is fixed, I know I can easily extend it to make it plot more than just two curves in a dynamic way. I could use for loops with shift registers, etc to plot any number of curves on a single plot.
Believe me, I have searched for other posts and cannot find a simple example like the one I have posted here. Many examples I found have confused me more than helped me.
I believe that if this problem is solved in a simple way, many others will find this example very instructive. So by helping me, you help many other people as well!
Thank you in advance. Please see the attached files (the VI, and an example data file that I just created)
Solved!

I did verify that this works for XY Graph, but not for 2D Error Plot.
I need both legend and error bars. Shame on LabVIEW for not making such a basic plotting requirement easy and trasparent.
There are many clever people who can find work arounds, but that is a not a correct approach.

Error bars in Numbers for iPad?

Greetings,
One of the reasons I purchased an iPad was to work on the go. For me this means being able to create/edit docs, spreadsheets, and presentations in my iPad and then sync that work with my MBP at work.
I am finding some roadblocks when sharing work between devices (a first for me with Apple).
This specific question has to do with Numbers for the iPad:
- Is there a way to add error bars within Numbers for the iPad?
When I try to import a spreadsheet from Numbers in my computer the error bars get cropped as if they were some unnecessarily fancy font that didn't make it to the iPad version of the software. If there is no way to do this, does anyone know if there are plans to add this capability to the program?
I might be biased, but I have a hard time coming up with occasions when one would not need to add a measure of variability (error bar) to any graphic dispplay of data (save for ninth grade presentations maybe).
Thank you for your assistance!
Andres

Hi Andres,
iWork for iOS applications are in version 1, and in general provide a subset of the features of the Mac OS versions. Few of the users in this (Numbers) community are familiar with the iPad version, which probably explains the lack of response to yur question in the nine hours since you posted.
I expect you'll get a quicker (and more useful) response if you repost in the iWork for iOS area: https://discussions.apple.com/community/app_store/iwork_for_ios?view=discussions

Error bars in keynote

Does anyone know how to manually insert individual error bars in a bar chart in keynote? the custom option is greyed out in keynote and when I tried it in Numbers I could only use the same value for all the columns rather than specify for each.
Cheers

Thanks for your reply; if this is the case then I must admit to being slightly disappointed. From looking at the Keynote tutorials I am aware that Keynote is not intended as an application through which to present scientific data, but because Apple usually include so many more useful features in their applications than Microsoft do (in my opinion), I thought they may have given us the option to add error bars to graphs and charts.

Standard Error Bars in charts

I would like to know if anyone has used std. error bars (as
in statistics) in column or bar charts and how that was
accomplished. I didn't see anything about it in the flex
docs.

Frustrating that these aren't included by default, isn't
it...
I'm sure the questioner long since has solved his problem or
given up, but since I've been unable to find any solutions myself
and have had to reinvent the wheel, I'll try and point anyone else
looking in the right direction.
One way to do it is to create your own IDataRenderer (or
extend or facade an existing one). You'll want to make sure you're
passing a standard deviation as part of your series data and then
in the updateDisplayList method draw it yourself, grabbing the
deviation from the data.item. You'll need to scale it
appropriately... for instance, extend CircleItemRenderer and add an
updateDisplayList along the lines of:
override protected function
updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth:Number,
unscaledHeight:Number):void
super.updateDisplayList(unscaledWidth, unscaledHeight);
if (data.hasOwnProperty('item') &&
data.item.hasOwnProperty('deviation')) {
// figure out the scale (I'm certain there must be a more
appropriate way to do this)
var scale:Number = data.y / data.item.value;
var deviation:Number = data.item.deviation as Number;
var g:Graphics = graphics;
var stroke:IStroke= new
Stroke(0,1,1,false,'normal','square');
stroke.apply(g);
// figure out the center
var trueX:Number = unscaledWidth / 2 - .5; // otherwise
seems to be off to the side, for me
var trueY:Number = unscaledHeight / 2;
// draw the error bar
g.moveTo(trueX,-(deviation * scale) + trueY);
g.lineTo(trueX,(deviation * scale) + trueY);
g.moveTo(trueX, trueY);
// draw little T's on the end of the error bar
g.moveTo(trueX -2, -(deviation * scale) + trueY);
g.lineTo(trueX +2, -(deviation * scale) + trueY);
g.moveTo(trueX -2, (deviation * scale) + trueY);
g.lineTo(trueX +2, (deviation * scale) + trueY);
From there you should be able to futz with it to make it look
pretty.
Hope someone finds this helpful.

Y Error Bars

So for my biology class i have to graph a great deal of statistic based ecology stuff. Doing these graphs is very easy, but since it is statistically based, I have to do "Y Error Bars" which means the actual Y value could be between the "Y Error Bar." Im pretty sure numbers doesn't have this feature, but I am hoping I just missed it, so if anyone could help, it would be great appreciated!
And, this is off subject, but in anyones opinion is iworks or is microsoft office 2008 for mac better. I thought iworks was great, but lately I'm having a lot of trouble, and I'm trying to decide if it would be work it to buy microsoft office 2008, anyways any help would be greatly appreciated, thank!

Dear LaCoste890:
To date, Numbers fails to provide a feature allowing one to insert custom error bars. This is a major failure.
As an Apple fan, I would love to move from Microsoft Office to iWork. However, to date, both Pages and Numbers are lightweight programs lacking sufficient functionality to use for scientific applications. As an academic physician/scientist, I am quite disappointed.
Pages fails due to its lack of integration with EndNote, which is, for me, a critical reference manager program. This is a shame, because I enjoy some of the excellent formating options that Pages offers.
Numbers fails due to its inability to use custom Y error bars, as you have noted. Scientific graphs lacking error bars are, of course, quite useless. Here the shame is that graphs generated on Numbers are much more attractive and just as easy to format. Also, Apple is really losing an opportunity, since MS Office '08 is really buggy on OS 10.5.
Scientists and students need to put serious pressure on Apple to fix these features. Otherwise, we will simply abandon the suite for MS Office, and no real innovation will take place.

Error bar problem

This must be simple, but I can't figure out how to make either a standard deviation or a standard error bar to a chart.
I place the numbers 22, 33, 44 in three adjacent cells. I highlight them and see average in the lower left area. I drag this average button to a new cell, and viola the cell says 33. I click the cell and click chart and make a bar chart and get a chart that has a bar at 33. I then click the inspector and under advanced click error bars and positive and negative. For fixed value it works fine. For standard deviation or standard error, the error bar does not exist?!! How do I use the std dev or std error buttons to generate the appropriate error bar?
I can't believe this is a bug with the program, it must be a bug with me.
Please help,
Paul

Thank-you Yvan for your continued support. I have been working on this as well and spent some time with a VERY receptive and helpful Apple specialist, Chris. Indeed, what I was looking for was a chart like Yvan posted as Graphique 6. A version I created is here (hopefully I've got this image insert working:
image: !http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/HeCHRLWhs3C79ewObd_TdA?feat=directlink!
I made the error bars by using a formula to generate the standard deviation:
image: !http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/FnKGk70HlsKmn38cYPYQFw?feat=directlink!
Then generated custom error bars with that cell:
image: !http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/5IQm4ncUiq-Q9R8H2bb3zQ?feat=directlink!
I just discovered that Excel implements the one-click error bars identically to Numbers. It is counterintuitive (to me and my coworkers who have listened to my ranting today) that the one click standard error or standard deviation buttons would not give the standard deviation or standard error plots on the average bar, rather than on a series of bars, as if they were independent data. Here is one of countless examples of data from peer reviewed scientific literature of how this type of plot is (and IMHO should be) used:
image: !http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/5IQm4ncUiq-Q9R8H2bb3zQ?feat=directlink!
One can see that some of the values are within the standard error of the other values, and some are significantly different.
But I now realize that because the implementation is the same as in Excel, it is unlikely that the feature will be changed to what I see is a more logical use of the one-click button, since we can use the custom buttons if we really want to chart differently...
I want to thank Apple and the responders to this thread for their time and patience.

Error bars from data

Hello,
I am trying to graph several columns of data with percentage confidence intervals in the adjacent column into a graph, but I can not seem to get Numbers to understand where the error bar numbers are and to which data they correspond. At the very least, Numbers does not display any error bars.
Perhaps it is confused by the Header bars and 'gives up'?
In the same vein, I wonder if there is a way to get Numbers to take error data along with the mean value by parsing an expression, a la, "### ± #.#%" == "mean value" ± "confidence as a percentage of mean value", and most importantly use that parsed expression for graphing.
Anyway, thank you in advance.

In the Chart inspector, Series tab, Advanced is where you set error bars. Select a series on your chart. Choose whether you want positive bars, negative bars, or both then choose custom. Click in one of the entry fields and select the error bar data from your table.
Percentage error data will not display as you wish. For example, a 50% error will chart as 0.5, not 50% of the data point value. You will have to do the multiplication in your table.
If you need mean value charted, you'll have to chart them yourself. Error bars are error bars and no more.

LV 2009 error bar plots suggestions

I have mentioned my mixed feelings about the new error bar plot introduced in 2009 on the info-labview list and have been asked to move this discussion to this forum.
So there it goes:
Introducing the possibility to natively display plots with error bars associated with each data point is a nice touch that brings LV one step closer to being a full-fledged data analysis and representation environment. However, the feature is limited in allowing only a single axis error bar (and on the Y axis only). This might come from NI's hardware bias (time recording of waveforms, in which the time axis does not have any "error" to it, being clock driven). Some of us use LV for a tad more than just recording waveforms and displaying them. We use complex instruments, process our data extensively, and when times come to plot a XY graph (and this is true for higher dimensionality data too), each coordinate (X, Y, etc) of each data point may be affected by a statistical or experimental uncertainty.
In this kind of situation, each data point should be represented as a center point with two orthogonal error bars (with different sizes, and possibly, as offered in the new error plot, different plus and minus error bars). In most cases, the plus and minus error bars will be identical (representing the standard deviation of the data), so it would be advantageous to have an option that allows specifying that and avoid passing twice the same array of error bars to the plot formatting VI.
Note that introducing this feature wouldautomatically bring up the request to have fitting algorithms that take this kind of dual axis error bar representation into account (which most data analysis software do nowaday).
I hope this brief suggestion will be supported by other fellow LabViewers...
X.

All,
These are great suggestions, and we always enjoy getting feedback from real-world situations where LabVIEW could help out more. I really think this should be thrown on the LabVIEW Idea Exchange. Our development team looks over all the suggestions there, and it would have much more visibility than just being posted in this thread.
Also, while you are there, be sure to vote on ideas that you like! Some of the top ideas are so obvious, you will be surprised they weren't implemented already!

Error bars in mac excel 2011

Dear friends
I am using mac excel 2011 and made charts using multiple series of data. I have calculated mean, std dev and std error and wanted to pt in custom values for error bars. Everytime I choose error bars>more options> custom readings and then highlight
the cells on the chart. But the error bar still show the same value in all columns of that series.
I have even exported the sheet to my PC and tried on excel 2003 and it still is not allowing me to chose different values even in custom setting.
Please help

How can I display different error bars for each point on a scatter graph?

I have a scatter chart in Numbers and I need to add error bars to the points along both the x and y axes, however, the size of the error bars for each point need to be of different sizes. Is there a way to accomplish this or is there some kind of work around to acheieve a similar result? So far the only way I can find to add error bars only allows a standard amount for each point.

I found the answer here https://discussions.apple.com/message/16440653#16441393

Error in loading the WSDL file. Check the error log for more details

Hello,
I am trying to create a Import Adaptive Webservice Model. I am using the WSDL:
http://www.abysal.com/soap/AbysalEmail.wsdl
I am getting the below error when I choose WSDL source as UDDI or file (I am not using any logical destination)
"Error in loading the WSDL file. Check the error log for more details."
Where can i see the error log? And what is the solution to fix this?
I am able to create the model if i save the wsdl locally on my machine and choose Local File System or File as the WSDL source. But at runtime this fails as the application tries to read the WSDL for metadata info and it looks into the application server for this file.
I also tried creating the old webservice model. And it is able to create the model. But I feel I need to use the new model as this one is deprecated.
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi pryank,
From the log, it seems that the users don’t have permission on this page:
/Projects/LFB/03 Bid Stage 1/Forms/AllItems.aspx
Does the sub site have unique permission instead of inheriting permission from the parent site? If no, you need to make the sub site to inherit permission from the site collection so that master page also inherits the right. If this is not allowed in your organization, please go to “Site Actions”à “Site Settings” à “Master Pages and Page Layouts” to give users permissions on this document library.
Hope this helps.
