In TBradley27/MultiECDFPlot: Plot Multiple ECDFs onto the Same Plot from a List of Vectors, with Optional Annotations

MultiECDFPlot

MultiECDFPlot is an R package for the creation of plots containing multiple empirical cumulative distributions functions (ECDFs)

Installation

Installation depends on the devtools package, which is a tool to aid the development of R packages, and also the installation of non-CRAN and non-Bioconductor packages. Install devtools using the following command in the R console:

install.packages("devtools")

Once installed, the package can be loaded using the following command:

library('devtools')

The package contains a function to install remote github repositories as local R packages. This function can be used to install MultiECDFPlot:

install_github('TBradley27/MultiECDFPlot')

Once installed, the MultiECDFPlot can be loaded into a local R environment just like any other package:

library("MultiECDFPlot")

Functions

PlotMultiECDFs

PlotMultiECDFs is the core function of this R package. It generates a multi-ECDF plot given a named list of vectors as input:

example_vectors = list(a=rnorm(1000), b=rnorm(1000), c=rnorm(1000, mean=0.3))
PlotMultiECDFs (example_vectors, xlim=range(-3, 3), main='foo', xlab='bar')

PlotCutoff

The PlotCutoff function plots a set of vertical and horizontal cutoff lines given either a starting horizontal or vertical position and a curve of interest. The point at which the relevant line interesects the y or x-axis is indicated:

PlotCutoff(v=0.5, vectorName="a")

Further information about functions can be found in a function's corresponding manual page.
