PhasePlot {ArchaeoPhases}

R Documentation

Plot the characteristics of a group of events

Description

This function draws the marginal posterior densities of the minimum and the maximum of the events included in the phase and summary statistics including mean, credible interval, and time range. The result is given in calendar years (BC/AD).

Usage

PhasePlot(
  PhaseMin_chain,
  PhaseMax_chain,
  level = 0.95,
  title = "Characterisation of a group of dates",
  colors = TRUE,
  exportFile = NULL,
  exportFormat = "PNG",
  GridLength = 1024
)

Arguments

PhaseMin_chain	Numeric vector containing the output of the MCMC algorithm for the minimum of the events included in the phase.
PhaseMax_chain	Numeric vector containing the output of the MCMC algorithm for the maximum of the events included in the phase.
level	Probability corresponding to the level of confidence used for the credible interval and the time range.
title	The title of the plot
colors	If TRUE, then use of colors in the plot, otherwise draw the plot in black and white.
exportFile	Name of the file to be saved. If NULL, then no plot is saved.
exportFormat	Format of the export file, either "PNG" or "SVG".
GridLength	Length of the grid used to estimate the density.

Value

NULL, called for its side effects
