R Documentation

Draws UpAndDown plots for different grouping variables

Description

This function draws plots to compare the effects of different grouping variables.

Usage

dgroup(data, byvars, weight=1, v1, v2)

Arguments

`data`	the dataset to be analysed
`byvars`	the grouping variables to be used
`weight`	a variable for weighting the individual items, the default is for every item to be weighted equally
`v1`	the variable specifying the start value in the comparison
`v2`	the variable specifying the end value in the comparison

Details

This function prepares UpAndDown plots showing percentage and absolute changes for different grouping variables. All unlabelled plots have the same vertical scale to ease comparisons. Scales of labelled plots are affected by label lengths.

To draw an unlabelled or labelled set of plots, apply grid.arrange to the appropriate output of dgroup.

Value

`uad`	unlabelled horizontal UpAndDown plots
`uadl`	vertical UpAndDown plots with labelling
