panel.ellipse: Lattice panel function to fit and draw a confidence ellipsoid...

In latticeExtra: Extra Graphical Utilities Based on Lattice

Description

A lattice panel function that computes and draws a confidence ellipsoid from bivariate data, possibly grouped by a third variable.

Usage

panel.ellipse(x, y, groups = NULL,
              level = 0.68, segments = 50, robust = FALSE,
              center.pch = 3, center.cex = 2, ...,
              type, pch, cex)

Arguments

x, y	Numeric vectors of same length giving the bivariate data. Non-numeric variables will be coerced to be numeric.
groups	Optional grouping variable.
level	Confidence level for the ellipse.
segments	Number of segments used to approximate the ellipse.
robust	Logical indicating whether a robust method should be used. If TRUE, the confidence ellipse is based on a bivariate t-distribution using the cov.trob function in the MASS package.
center.pch	Plotting character for the center (fitted mean). If NULL, the center will not be shown on the plot.
center.cex	Character expansion (size) multipler for the symbol indicating the center.
...	Further arguments, typically graphical parameters. Passed on to panel.xyplot.
type, pch, cex	Parameters that are ignored; these are present only to make sure they are not inadvertently passed on to panel.xyplot.

Examples

xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Length, groups=Species,
       data = iris, scales = "free",
       par.settings = list(superpose.symbol = list(pch=c(15:17)),
                           superpose.line = list(lwd=2, lty=1:3)),
       panel = function(x, y, ...) {
           panel.xyplot(x, y, ...)
           panel.ellipse(x, y, ...)
       },
       auto.key = list(x = .1, y = .8, corner = c(0, 0)))

## Without groups
xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Length, 
       data = iris, scales = "free",
       par.settings = list(plot.symbol = list(cex = 1.1, pch=16)),
       panel = function(x, y, ...) {
           panel.xyplot(x, y, ...)
           panel.ellipse(x, y, lwd = 2, ...)
       },
       auto.key = list(x = .1, y = .8, corner = c(0, 0)))


## With conditioning
xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Length | Species, 
       data = iris, scales = "free",
       par.settings = list(plot.symbol = list(cex = 1.1, pch=16)),
       layout=c(2,2),
       panel = function(x, y, ...) {
           panel.xyplot(x, y, ...)
           panel.ellipse(x, y, lwd = 2, ...)
       },
       auto.key = list(x = .6, y = .8, corner = c(0, 0)))


## Compare classical with robust 
xyplot(Sepal.Length ~ Petal.Length | Species, 
       data = iris, scales = "free",
       par.settings = list(plot.symbol = list(cex = 1.1, pch=16)),
       layout=c(2,2),
       panel = function(x, y, ...) {
           panel.xyplot(x, y, ...)
           panel.ellipse(x, y, lwd = 2, ...)
           panel.ellipse(x, y, lwd = 2, col="red", robust=TRUE,  ...)
       })
