AskObsSD (n)<br />

The opposite of SetObsSD. Returns <strong>the</strong> current sd multiplier for error bars in observation<br />

plots.<br />

SetObsSE (n)<br />

Call SetObsSE(n) to create error bars n * se units long, where se is <strong>the</strong> standard error<br />

of <strong>the</strong> mean of a set of observations. For instance, SetObsSE(2) will tell PlotObs to produce<br />

error bars 2 sem’s long about <strong>the</strong> mean of each observation set. To turn off error<br />

bars, call SetObsSE(0). By default, n = 0.<br />

Notes: use SetSD to control whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> standard deviation, and hence <strong>the</strong> standard<br />

error of <strong>the</strong> mean, is computed with a denominator of n data items, or n – 1. If you call<br />

SetObsSE, SetObsSD will automatically be turned off.<br />

Exception:<br />

704 SetObsSE can’t be negative: n<br />

AskObsSE (n)<br />

The opposite of SetObsSE. Returns <strong>the</strong> current se multiplier for error bars in observation<br />

plots.<br />

SetObsBox (f)<br />

Pass f = 1 to use box-and-whisker plots in observation plots, or 0 to return to using <strong>the</strong><br />

default (error bars).<br />

AskObsBox (f)<br />

The opposite of SetObsBox. Returns f = 0 if observation plots use error bars, 1 if <strong>the</strong>y<br />

use box plots.<br />
