plot.functional {ddalpha}

Plot functions for the Functional Data

Description

Plots the functional data given in the form which is described in the topic dataf.*.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'functional'
plot(x, 
      main = "Functional data", xlab = "args", ylab = "vals", 
      colors = c("red", "blue", "green", "black", "orange", "pink"), ...)
      
## S3 method for class 'functional'
lines(x, 
      colors = c("red", "blue", "green", "black", "orange", "pink"), ...)
      
## S3 method for class 'functional'
points(x, 
      colors = c("red", "blue", "green", "black", "orange", "pink"), ...)

Arguments

x

The functional data as in the topic dataf.*. Note, that the in order to use s3 methods the data must be of class "functional".

main

an overall title for the plot: see title

xlab

a title for the x axis: see title

ylab

a title for the y axis: see title

colors

the colors for the classes of the data. The colors are applied to the classes sorted in alphabetical order. Use the same set of classes to ensure that the same colours are selected in lines and points as in plot (do not remove entire classes).

Examples

## Not run: 
  ## load the Growth dataset
  dataf = dataf.growth()
  
  labels = unlist(dataf$labels)
  plot(dataf, 
       main = paste("Growth: girls red (", sum(labels == "girl"), "),", 
                    " boys blue (", sum(labels == "boy"), ")", sep=""),
       xlab="Year", ylab="Height, cm",
       colors = c("blue", "red")   # in alphabetical order of class labels   
  )
  
  # plot an observation as a line
  observation = structure(list(dataf = list(dataf$dataf[[1]])), class = "functional")
  lines(observation, colors = "green", lwd = 3)
  
  # plot hight at the age of 14 
  indexAge14 = which(observation$dataf[[1]]$args == 14)
  hightAge14 = observation$dataf[[1]]$vals[indexAge14]
  atAge14 = structure(list(
                      dataf = list(dataf = list(args = 14, vals = hightAge14))
                      ), class = "functional")
  points(atAge14, colors = "yellow", pch = 18)
