plot_ford(object, weights = FALSE, EPPM = FALSE)

Arguments

object	A m \times p numeric matrix or data.frame of count data (absolute frequencies giving the number of individuals for each category, i.e. a contingency table).
...	Currently not used.
weights	A logical scalar: should the row sums be displayed?
