I have this picture of a residual Plot I am trying to reproduce (Y axis scale should be the same as in my plot):

Reference graph

The code I have used is:

DiscretePlot[ResN[[i]], {i, 1, 10}, Joined -> True, Filling -> None, 
     PlotMarkers -> "Point", PlotRange -> {{0, 15}, {0, 1}}, 
     PlotLabel -> "Res(n)"]`

Plot with the Y-axis to be modified to agree with upper graph

ResN is a List with values for ten columns.

Any help would be appreciated. I browsed around for the answer, but without any success.

  • $\begingroup$ @NJEvans: Yes, I have, but it is not working in my case, because 'ResN' is not a rule ar a list of rules. Sektor: thank you for edit! $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ 
myRes[n_] := 1/n^3;
myFig = ListLogPlot[Table[{n, myRes[n]}, {n, 1, 10}],
  PlotLabel -> Text[Style["Res(n)", 18]],
  PlotRange -> {Automatic, {10^(-8), 100}},
  Joined -> True,
  Ticks -> {Automatic, 
    Table[{10^i, "1. E " <> ToString[i]}, {i, -8, 2, 2} ]}]

  • $\begingroup$ Your comment was very valuable. However, I had to change the definition of my ResN variable to be a List type. I made this with the use of Range. Now I can use ListLogPlot to plot the data. How could I modify your plot to have a value of 1 plotted at the 0 value of the abscisa axis (not at 1 as in thisa case)? $\endgroup$
