In rcarbon: Calibration and Analysis of Radiocarbon Dates

Plots a Composite Kernel Density Estimate of sampled radiocarbon dates.

Description

Plots a Composite Kernel Density Estimate of sampled radiocarbon dates.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'compositeKDE'
plot(
  x,
  calendar = "BP",
  type = "envelope",
  ylim = NA,
  xlim = NA,
  fill.col = "lightgrey",
  interval = 0.95,
  line.col = "black",
  line.type = 2,
  multiline.alpha = NA,
  multiline.col = "black",
  ...
)

Arguments

x	A compositeKDE class object generated using the ckde function.
calendar	Either 'BP' or 'BCAD'. Indicate whether the calibrated date should be displayed in BP or BC/AD. Default is 'BP'.
type	Either envelope or multiline. Default is envelope.
ylim	the y limits of the plot.
xlim	the x limits of the plot. In BP or in BC/AD depending on the choice of the parameter calender. Notice that if BC/AD is selected BC ages should have a minus sign (e.g. c(-5000,200) for 5000 BC to 200 AD).
fill.col	Envelope color when type='envelope'. Default is 'lightgrey'.
interval	Quantile interval for the envelope. Default is 0.95.
line.col	Line color when type='envelope'. Default is 'black.
line.type	Line type when type='envelope'. Default is 2.
multiline.alpha	Alpha level for line transparency when type='multiline'. Default is 10/nsim, where nsim is the number of simulations. If nsim is smaller than 10, multiline.alpha will be set to 1.
multiline.col	Line color when type='multiline'. Default is 'black'.
...	Additional arguments affecting the plot

Details

Visualise a compositeKDE class object. If type is set 'envelope' an envelope of the percentile interval defined by the parameter interval is shown along with the mean KDE. If type is set 'multiline' all KDEs are shown.
