plotting - ListLogLogPlot with ErrorBars


I have the following data consisting of x, y pairs and errors of y:


dataWithError = {{0.0333333, 0.0000122672, 0.00000173485}, {0.05, 0.0000371462, 
                  0.00000448037}, {0.0666667, 0.0000697768, 0.00000748151}, 
                 {0.0833333, 0.000108625, 0.000010837}, {0.1, 0.000147595,

                  0.0000136051}, {0.116667, 0.000186599, 0.0000161483}, 
                 {0.133333, 0.000221451, 0.0000179078}, {0.15, 0.000253062, 0.0000192494}};

I can plot the data with error bars with:


ErrorListPlot[dataWithError, Joined -> True, PlotRange -> Full]

The result is:

I need a ListLogLogPlot with error bars (both axes have to be logarithmic). How can that be done?



Answer




You can always perform coordinate transformation yourself. There is nothing so special about LogLogPlot. You have to apply Log to your points and plot it with regular ErrorListPlot. Keep in mind that your error bar won't be symmetric in log-log coordinates. After that you have to draw ticks according to your new scale.


This can be overkill for log-log case, but it gives you generic algorithm how to torture your axes any way you want.


Needs["ErrorBarPlots`"]

plotrange={Floor@Log10@Min[#],Ceiling@Log10@Max[#]}&@dataWithError[[All,#]]&/@{1,2};
logData={{Log10[#[[1]]],Log10[#[[2]]]},ErrorBar[Log10[1+0.5#]&/@{-#[[3]]/#[[2]],#[[3]]/#[[2]]} ] }&/@dataWithError;
xticks = {#,Superscript[10,#]}&/@Range[#1,#2,1]&@@plotrange[[1]];
yticks = {#,Superscript[10,#]}&/@Range[#1,#2,1]&@@plotrange[[2]];
{xt,yt}=#~Join~({#,""}&/@Flatten[(#[[1]]+Log10[{2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}])&/@#])&/@{xticks,yticks};


 ErrorListPlot[logData, Joined -> True, PlotRange->plotrange,FrameTicks->{{yt,None},{xt,None}},Frame->True,Axes->False]

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

How to thread a list

I have data in format data = {{a1, a2}, {b1, b2}, {c1, c2}, {d1, d2}} Tableform: I want to thread it to : tdata = {{{a1, b1}, {a2, b2}}, {{a1, c1}, {a2, c2}}, {{a1, d1}, {a2, d2}}} Tableform: And I would like to do better then pseudofunction[n_] := Transpose[{data2[[1]], data2[[n]]}]; SetAttributes[pseudofunction, Listable]; Range[2, 4] // pseudofunction Here is my benchmark data, where data3 is normal sample of real data. data3 = Drop[ExcelWorkBook[[Column1 ;; Column4]], None, 1]; data2 = {a #, b #, c #, d #} & /@ Range[1, 10^5]; data = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {10^6, 4}]; Here is my benchmark code kptnw[list_] := Transpose[{Table[First@#, {Length@# - 1}], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list kptnw2[list_] := Transpose[{ConstantArray[First@#, Length@# - 1], Rest@#}, {3, 1, 2}] &@list OleksandrR[list_] := Flatten[Outer[List, List@First[list], Rest[list], 1], {{2}, {1, 4}}] paradox2[list_] := Partition[Riffle[list[[1]], #], 2] & /@ Drop[list, 1] RM[list_] := FoldList[Transpose[{First@li...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...
