scontour(P, tracepoints=FALSE, colpoints="black", tracemed=TRUE,
   maxdepth=FALSE, xlim=c(0,2*pi), displaymed=FALSE,
   title="Circular Tukey contours", ylab="Tukey's circular depth",
   xlab=expression(theta), colmed=2, colarc="red", sizepoints=3)

Arguments

P

The data as a vector, a matrix, a data frame or a list.

tracepoints

Logical; if TRUE, data points are added to the plot.

colpoints

A specification for the color of the data points.

tracemed

Logical; if TRUE, the Tukey median is added to the plot.

maxdepth

Logical; On the circle only; if TRUE, the maximum depth is printed on the plot.

xlim

Numeric vectors of length 2, giving the x coordinate range.

displaymed

Logical; On the circle only; if TRUE, the median value is printed on the plot.

title

On the circle only, a specification for the plot title.

ylab

On the circle only, a specification for the y axis title.

xlab

On the circle only, a specification for the x axis title.

colmed

Color of the Tukey median on the plot.

colarc

On the sphere only, color of the spherical depth contours on the plot.

sizepoints

Size of plotted points.

Details

Supports data on the circle or the sphere. For data on the circle, data must be expressed in polar coordinates as a angle in radians with values between 0 and . Data on the sphere can be expressed in Euclidean coordinates (n by 3 matrix) or in spherical coordinates (n by 2 matrix) where the first column contains θ and the second column φ. The type of coordinates is determined automatically based on the dimensions of the input.

Value

plot

A plot of Tukey spherical depth if the input data are on the circle, or the Tukey spherical depth contours if the input data are on the sphere.

If data are on the sphere only, a list of 3 elements is also outputted.

1

A sorted vector giving the depths of the plotted contours.

2

A list of matrices with the vertices of every contour.

3

The Euclidean coordinates of the Tukey median
