In SiZer: Significant Zero Crossings

Plot a SiZer map Plot a SiZer object that was created using SiZer()

Description

Plot a SiZer map Plot a SiZer object that was created using SiZer()

Usage

## S3 method for class 'SiZer'
plot(
  x,
  ylab = expression(log[10](h)),
  colorlist = c("red", "purple", "blue", "grey"),
  ggplot2 = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	An object created using SiZer()
ylab	What the y-axis should be labled.
colorlist	What colors should be used. This is a vector that corresponds to 'decreasing', 'possibley zero', 'increasing', and 'insufficient data'.
ggplot2	Should the graphing be done using 'ggplot2'? Defaults to FALSE for backwards compatibility.
...	Any other parameters to be passed to the function image. Ignored if 'ggplot2' is TRUE.

Details

The white lines in the SiZer map give a graphical representation of the bandwidth. The horizontal distance between the lines is 2h.

Examples

data('Arkansas')
x <- Arkansas$year
y <- Arkansas$sqrt.mayflies

plot(x,y)

# Calculate the SiZer map for the first derivative
SiZer.1 <- SiZer(x, y, h=c(.5,10), degree=1, derv=1, grid.length=21)
plot(SiZer.1)
plot(SiZer.1, ggplot2=TRUE)

# Calculate the SiZer map for the second derivative
SiZer.2 <- SiZer(x, y, h=c(.5,10), degree=2, derv=2, grid.length=21);
plot(SiZer.2)

# By setting the grid.length larger, we get a more detailed SiZer
# map but it takes longer to compute. 
#
# SiZer.3 <- SiZer(x, y, h=c(.5,10), grid.length=100, degree=1, derv=1)
# plot(SiZer.3)
