[R] Choice of notch size in R

[Richard.Cotton at hsl.gov.uk]

Yes, but it's not as simple as specifying the significance level.  You'll 
have to update the function boxplot.stats, specifically the line
conf <- if (do.conf)  stats[3] + c(-1.58, 1.58) * iqr/sqrt(n)

Then you either need to modify boxplot to find your version of 
boxplot.stats, or call bxp (the low-level plotting function that boxplot 
calls) directly.

Richie.
