overlapDensity: Overlapping Density Plots

In jhmaindonald/DAAG: Data Analysis and Graphics Data and Functions

Description

Densities for two distinct samples are estimated and plotted.

Usage

overlapDensity(x0, x1, ratio = c(0.05, 20), ratio.number = FALSE,
          plotvalues = c("Density", "Numbers"), gpnames = c("Control", "Treatment"),
          cutoffs = c(lower = TRUE, upper = TRUE), bw = FALSE,
          xlab = "Score", ylab = NULL,
          col = 1:2, lty = 1:2, lwd = c(1, 1), ...)

overlap.density(x0, x1, ratio = c(0.05, 20), ratio.number = FALSE,
          plotvalues = c("Density", "Numbers"), gpnames = c("Control", "Treatment"),
          cutoffs = c(lower = TRUE, upper = TRUE), bw = FALSE,
          xlab = "Score", ylab = NULL,
          col = 1:2, lty = 1:2, lwd = c(1, 1), ...)

Arguments

x0	control group measurements
x1	treatment group measurements
ratio	if not NULL, the range within which the relative number per unit interval (ratio.number=TRUE) or relative probability density (ratio.number=FALSE) of observations from the two groups are required to lie will be used to determine lower and upper bounds on the values of x0 and x1. [The relative numbers at any point are estimated from (density1*n1)/(density0*x0)]
ratio.number	If TRUE (default), then ratio is taken as the ratio of number of points per unit interval
plotvalues	If set to Number then the y-axis scale is chosen so that total area undere the curve is equal to the sample size; otherwise (plotvalues="Density") total area under each cueve is 1. Any other setting does not give a plot.
gpnames	Names of the two samples
cutoffs	logical vector, indicating whether density estimates should be truncated below (lower=TRUE) or above (upper=TRUE)
bw	logical, indicates whether to overwrite with a gray scale plot
xlab	Label for x-axis
ylab	Label for y-axis
col	standard color parameter
lty	standard line type preference
lwd	standard line width preference
...	Other parameters to be passed to plot()
