In berryFunctions: Function Collection Related to Plotting and Hydrology

Compare beta distributions

Description

Visually understand the effect of the beta distribution parameters

Usage

betaPlotComp(
  shape1 = c(0.5, 1:4, 10, 20),
  shape2 = shape1,
  cumulative = FALSE,
  cex = 0.8,
  las = 1,
  main = "",
  ylim = lim0(4),
  mar = rep(0, 4),
  oma = c(2, 2, 4.5, 2),
  mgp = c(3, 0.7, 0),
  keeppar = FALSE,
  textargs = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

shape1	Vector of alpha values as in dbeta. DEFAULT: c(0.5, 1:4, 10,20)
shape2	Beta values to be compared. DEFAULT: shape1
cumulative	Should the cumulative density distribution line be added? DEFAULT: FALSE
cex	Character EXpansion size. DEFAULT: 0.8
las	Label Axis Style passed to axis. DEFAULT: 1
main	Main as in plot. DEFAULT: ""
ylim	LIMit for the Y axis. DEFAULT: lim0(4)
mar	MARgins for plot passed to par. DEFAULT: rep(0,4)
oma	Outer MArgins for plot passed to par. DEFAULT: c(2,2,4.5,2)
mgp	MarGin Placement. DEFAULT: c(3,0.7,0)
keeppar	Should margin parameters be kept instead of being restored to previous value? DEFAULT: FALSE
textargs	List of arguments passed to textField. DEFAULT: NULL
...	Further arguments passed to betaPlot like lines, fill, etc.

Value

None. Used for plotting.

Note

Tries to find suitable subplot for axis labels. This works only for increasing parameter values.
