alfa.contour: Contour plot of the alpha multivariate normal in S^2

In Compositional: Compositional Data Analysis

Contour plot of the \alpha multivariate normal in S^2

Description

Contour plot of the \alpha multivariate normal in S^2.

Usage

alfa.contour(m, s, a, n = 100, x = NULL, cont.line = FALSE)

Arguments

m	The mean vector of the \alpha multivariate normal model.
s	The covariance matrix of the \alpha multivariate normal model.
a	The value of a for the \alpha-transformation.
n	The number of grid points to consider over which the density is calculated.
x	This is either NULL (no data) or contains a 3 column matrix with compositional data.
cont.line	Do you want the contour lines to appear? If yes, set this TRUE.

Details

The \alpha-transformation is applied to the compositional data and then for a grid of points within the 2-dimensional simplex, the density of the \alpha multivariate normal is calculated and the contours are plotted.

Value

The contour plot of the \alpha multivariate normal appears.
