ogive | R Documentation |
Compute a smoothed empirical distribution function for grouped data.
ogive(x, ...)
## Default S3 method:
ogive(x, y = NULL, breaks = "Sturges", nclass = NULL, ...)
## S3 method for class 'grouped.data'
ogive(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'ogive'
print(x, digits = getOption("digits") - 2, ...)
## S3 method for class 'ogive'
summary(object, ...)
## S3 method for class 'ogive'
knots(Fn, ...)
## S3 method for class 'ogive'
plot(x, main = NULL, xlab = "x", ylab = "F(x)", ...)
x |
for the generic and all but the default method, an object of
class |
y |
a vector of group frequencies. |
breaks, nclass |
arguments passed to |
digits |
number of significant digits to use, see
|
Fn, object |
an R object inheriting from |
main |
main title. |
xlab, ylab |
labels of x and y axis. |
... |
arguments to be passed to subsequent methods. |
The ogive is a linear interpolation of the empirical cumulative distribution function.
The equation of the ogive is
G_n(x) = \frac{(c_j - x) F_n(c_{j - 1}) +
(x - c_{j - 1}) F_n(c_j)}{c_j - c_{j - 1}}
for c_{j-1} < x \leq c_j
and where
c_0, \dots, c_r
are the r + 1
group
boundaries and F_n
is the empirical distribution function of
the sample.
For ogive
, a function of class "ogive"
, inheriting from the
"function"
class.

grouped.data
to create grouped data objects;
quantile.grouped.data
for the inverse function;
approxfun
, which is used to compute the ogive;
stepfun
for related documentation (even though the ogive
is not a step function).
## Most common usage: create ogive from grouped data object.
Fn <- ogive(gdental)
Fn
summary(Fn)
knots(Fn) # the group boundaries
Fn(knots(Fn)) # true values of the empirical cdf
Fn(c(80, 200, 2000)) # linear interpolations
plot(Fn) # graphical representation
## Alternative 1: create ogive directly from individual data
## without first creating a grouped data object.
ogive(dental) # automatic class boundaries
ogive(dental, breaks = c(0, 50, 200, 500, 1500, 2000))
## Alternative 2: create ogive from set of group boundaries and
## group frequencies.
cj <- c(0, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000)
nj <- c(30, 31, 57, 42, 45, 10)
ogive(cj, nj)
