dfplotveff: Plot effective volume

In obreschkow/dftools: Fitting distribution functions such as galaxy mass functions

Description

This routine plots the effective survey volume function Veff(x) assumed when fitting a one-dimensional generative distribution function (GDF), such as a galaxy mass function. Note that this function Veff(x) is stored as survey$selection$veff when fitting a GDF using survey=dffit(...).

Usage

dfplotveff(
  survey,
  xlim = NULL,
  ylim = NULL,
  xlab = "Mass M",
  ylab = expression("Effective volume"),
  legend = TRUE,
  xpower10 = TRUE
)

Arguments

survey	List produced by dffit
xlim	2-element vector with x-axis plotting limits
ylim	2-element vector with y-axis plotting limits
xlab	Label on x-axis (logarithmic mass or luminosity scale).
ylab	Label on y-axis (volume scale).
legend	Logical flag determining whether the legend will be plotted.
xpower10	If TRUE, the model argument x is elevated to the power of 10 in the plots.
