plot.elect {elect}

Plotting of life expectancies

Description

Graphical representation by smoothed densities of the life expectancies as estimated by elect

Usage

## S3 method for class 'elect'
plot(x, which = NULL, kernel = "gaussian", col = "red", lwd = 2, cex.lab = 1,...)

Arguments

x

Life expectancies estimated by elect

which

Subselection for plotting (following the order in summary). Example: which = c(1,3,5)

kernel

Character string for smoothing kernel ("gaussian", "rectangular", "triangular", "epanechnikov", "biweight", "cosine", or "optcosine")

col

Colour of curves

lwd

Line width of curves

cex.lab

Magnification to be used for axis-labels

...

Other arguments (not yet implemented)

Details

Presents distributions of the estimated life expectancies derived from the maximum likelihood estimate of the model parameters. The smoothing is undertaken using the R function density.
