plot.elect: Plotting of life expectancies

In elect: Estimation of Life Expectancies Using Multi-State Models

Description

Graphical representation by smoothed densities of the life expectancies as estimated by elect

Usage

## S3 method for class 'elect'
plot(x, which = NULL, kernel = "gaussian", col = "red", lwd = 2, cex.lab = 1,...)

Arguments

x	Life expectancies estimated by elect
which	Subselection for plotting (following the order in summary). Example: which = c(1,3,5)
kernel	Character string for smoothing kernel ("gaussian", "rectangular", "triangular", "epanechnikov", "biweight", "cosine", or "optcosine")
col	Colour of curves
lwd	Line width of curves
cex.lab	Magnification to be used for axis-labels
...	Other arguments (not yet implemented)

Details

Presents distributions of the estimated life expectancies derived from the maximum likelihood estimate of the model parameters. The smoothing is undertaken using the R function density.
