ecdfPlot: Empirical Distribution Plot

In USGS-R/smwrGraphs: Graphing Functions

Empirical Distribution Plot

Description

Creates a graph of the empirical distribution function of data.

Usage

ecdfPlot(x, group = NULL, Plot = list(name = "Auto", what =
  "stairstep", type = "solid", width = "standard", symbol = "circle",
  filled = TRUE, size = 0.09, color = "Auto"), xaxis.log = TRUE,
  xaxis.range = c(NA, NA), xlabels = 11, ylabels = 5,
  ytitle = "Cumulative Probability", xtitle = deparse(substitute(x)),
  caption = "", margin = c(NA, NA, NA, NA), ...)

## Default S3 method:
ecdfPlot(x, group = NULL, Plot = list(name = "Auto",
  what = "stairstep", type = "solid", width = "standard", symbol =
  "circle", filled = TRUE, size = 0.09, color = "Auto"),
  xaxis.log = TRUE, xaxis.range = c(NA, NA), xlabels = 11,
  ylabels = 5, ytitle = "Cumulative Probability",
  xtitle = deparse(substitute(x)), caption = "", margin = c(NA, NA,
  NA, NA), ...)

Arguments

x	the data to plot.
group	create groups for x. Each group is plotted as a separate line.
Plot	parameters defining the characteristics of the plot. See setPlot for a description of the parameters.
xaxis.log	logical, if TRUE, then log-transform the x axis.
xaxis.range	set the range of the x-axis. See Details.
xlabels	set the x-axis labels. See linearPretty for details.
ylabels	set the y-axis labels. See linearPretty for details.
ytitle	the y-axis title (also called y-axis caption).
xtitle	the x-axis title (also called x-axis caption).
caption	the figure caption.
margin	set the plot area margins, in units of lines of text. Generally all NA or the output from setGraph if appropriate.
...	any additional arguments needed by specific methods.

Details

For linear axes, the range can be set to virtually any pair of values. For log axes, the choice of range is more resticted—for less than one log-cycle, powers of whole numbers can be used; from 1 to about 3 log cycles, the choces should be powers of 3 or 10; and for more than 3 log cycles, the range sould be expressed only in powers of 10.

Value

Information about the graph.

Note

A call should be made to setPage to set up the graphics environment before calling ecdfPlot.
