curveConcent(x, y, w = NULL, xlab = NA, ylab = NA, add = FALSE, grid = 0, ...)

Arguments

x	Numeric vector with non-negative values.
y	Numeric vector used for the ranking of vector x.
w	Numeric vector of sampling weigths (optional).
xlab	Title for the x-axis.
ylab	Title for the y-axis.
add	If add is TRUE, only the curve is drawn. The device must contain a high-level plot.
