hist.DALY: Histogram method for class 'DALY'

In DALY: The DALY Calculator - Graphical User Interface for Probabilistic DALY Calculation in R

Description

Plot a standardized histogram of DALY Calculator output.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'DALY'
hist(x, xval = c("DALY", "YLD", "YLL", "cases", "deaths"),
     prob = 0.95, central = c("mean", "median"),
     breaks = 25, fill = "grey95", ...)

Arguments

x	Object of class 'DALY'
xval	Value to plot on x-axis; must be any of c("DALY", "YLD", "YLL", "cases", "deaths")
prob	Probability span by plotted credibility interval; defaults to 0.95
central	Plotted central value of distribution; must be any of c("mean", "median")
breaks	See hist; the default is 25 bars
fill	The colour to be used to fill the bars
...	Additional arguments to be passed to gpar
