plotSampDist: Plot(s) of simulated sampling distributions

In DAAG: Data Analysis and Graphics Data and Functions

Plot(s) of simulated sampling distributions

Description

Plots are based on the output from simulateSampDist(). By default, both density plots and normal probability plots are given, for a sample from the specified population and for samples of the relevant size(s)

Usage

plotSampDist(sampvalues, graph = c("density", "qq"), cex = 0.925,
             titletext = "Empirical sampling distributions of the",
             popsample=TRUE, ...)

Arguments

sampvalues	Object output from simulateSampDist()
graph	Either or both of "density" and "qq"
cex	Character size parameter, relative to default
titletext	Title for graph
popsample	If TRUE show distribution of random sample from population
...	Other graphics parameters

Value

Plots graph(s), as described above.

Examples

## By default, sample from normal population
simAvs <- simulateSampDist()
par(pty="s")
plotSampDist(simAvs)
## Sample from empirical distribution
simAvs <- simulateSampDist(rpop=rivers)
plotSampDist(simAvs)
