I have a dataset with 7 columns and want to plot the 6 latter each with the first one. If done for one, everything works, but apparently I miss something when looping. Here is my dataframe:
colnames(df) <- c("real", "est1", "est2", "est3", "est4", "est5", "est6")
head(df)
real est1 est2 est3 est4 est5 est6
1 6 1.040217e-05 7.693853e-05 0.0006782929 0.002676282 0.033385059 0.9631730251
2 6 1.065455e-05 7.880501e-05 0.0006947352 0.002740934 0.034161665 0.9623132055
3 5 1.037427e-03 7.607541e-03 0.0624143732 0.185340034 0.536009785 0.2075908392
4 1 2.345527e-01 4.855757e-01 0.2374464964 0.032691816 0.008846185 0.0008870667
5 5 3.506084e-04 2.585847e-03 0.0222474072 0.079120851 0.458854341 0.4368409455
6 3 1.710639e-03 1.247417e-02 0.0978889632 0.250555703 0.500355545 0.1370149767
and the code
boxplot( est1 ~ real, data=df, main="Estimated Probability for Category 1 Given the Real Categories")
works fine, but if I do the exactly same as a loop, it doesn't:
looper <- c("est1", "est2", "est3", "est4", "est5", "est6") #to get the column names to loop over
counter <- 0 # for the boxplot's title
for (i in all_of(looper)){
counter <- counter 1
boxplot( i ~ real, data=df,
main = paste("Estimated Probability for Category",counter,"Given the Real Categories")
)
}
I suppose it has to do with the way i
is used, I tried "i"
and also with one ` and I would always get one of the following errors:
For i
: Fehler in stats::model.frame.default(formula = i ~ real, data = eval.m1_sim) :
Variablenlängen sind unterschiedlich (gefunden für 'real')
For "i"
or ` : Fehler in terms.formula(formula, data = data) :
ungültiger Term in Modellformel
What am I missing?

You could go via column numbers:
# random example data as no reproducible example was given
df <- data.frame(
real = sample(1:4, 20, TRUE),
one = runif(20),
two = runif(20),
three = runif(20))
)
# graphics paramaters so we see all at once
par(mfrow = c(3,1), mar = c(2, 2, 1, 1))
# the easiest way is through column numbers
for(column in 2:4)
boxplot(df[[column]] ~ df$real)

Another option:
library(tidyverse)
df %>%
pivot_longer(-real) %>%
mutate(real = factor(real)) %>%
ggplot(aes(real, value))
geom_boxplot()
facet_wrap(~name)
