Analysis for a single group of bullet holes

Description

Performs a comprehensive numerical and graphical analysis of a single group of bullet holes.

Usage

analyzeGroup(DF, xyTopLeft = TRUE, center = FALSE,
             dstTarget, conversion, bandW = 0.5,
             CEPtype = 'CorrNormal', bootCI = 'none')

Arguments

`DF`	a data frame containing (at least) either the variables `point.x`, `point.y` or `x`, `y` defining the bullet holes. Variables `distance` (distance to target), `aim.x`, `aim.y` (point of aim) are useful - if they are missing, a warning is given and a default assumed.
`xyTopLeft`	logical: is the origin of the absolute coordinate system in the top-left corner? See details.
`center`	logical: center groups to mean (0,0) first? If variable `series` does not exist, all shots are treated as belonging to the same group.
`dstTarget`	a numerical value giving the distance to the target - used in MOA calculation. Acts as override if variable `distance` is already included in `DF`. See `getMOA`.
`conversion`	how to convert the measurement unit for distance to target to that of the (x,y)-coordinates in MOA calculation. Acts as override if variables `dist.unit` and `point.unit` are already included in `DF`. Example `'m2cm'`. See `getMOA`.
`bandW`	for argument `bandwith` of `smoothScatter`.
`CEPtype`	string vector indicating which CEP estimate to report in `getCEP`.
`bootCI`	a character vector to select which bootstrap confidence interval type to report. Possible types are `'none'` (no bootstrap CI), `'norm'`, `'basic'`, `'perc'`, `'bca'`. See `boot.ci`.

Details

By default, OnTarget PC/TDS' 'Export Point Data' places the origin of the absolute coordinate system in the top-left corner. In OnTarget TDS, this setting can be changed by checking the box 'Tools -> Options -> Options tab -> Data Export -> Invert Y-Axis on Export'. In that case, use xyTopLeft=FALSE. If groups appear to be upside-down, xyTopLeft is the setting to change.

Robust estimates for the group center and the covariance matrix of (x,y)-coordinates are from covMcd using the MCD algorithm.
This function is a wrapper for groupShape, groupLocation, and groupSpread.
If the data is missing information about the point of aim, (0,0) is assumed. If distance to target is missing, 100 is assumed.
The number of replicates for the reported bootstrap confidence intervals is at least 1499. If the BCa interval is reported, it is at least the number of points.

In addition to the numerical results listed below, this function produces the following diagrams:

a combined plot for multivariate outlier identification as produced by aq.plot
a scatterplot of the (x,y)-coordinates together with group center, circle with average distance to center, 50%-confidence ellipse - the latter also based on a robust estimate for the covariance matrix
a scatterplot of the (x,y)-coordinates together with the minimum bounding box, minimum enclosing circle, and maximum group spread
a chi-square Q-Q-plot for eyeballing multivariate normality as produced by chisq.plot, including a reference line with intercept 0 and slope 1
a heatmap of a 2D-kernel density estimate for the (x,y)-coordinates as produced by smoothScatter together with group center and error ellipse based on a robust estimate for the covariance matrix
a Q-Q-plot of x-coordinates for eyeballing normality
a Q-Q-plot of y-coordinates for eyeballing normality
a histogram of x-coordinates including a fitted normal distribution as well as a non-parametric kernel density estimate
a histogram of y-coordinates including a fitted normal distribution as well as a non-parametric kernel density estimate
a histogram of distances to group center including a fitted Rayleigh distribution as well as a non-parametric kernel density estimate
