plotdiscdensity {recapr}

Plotting the Density of a Vector of Discrete Values

Description

Plots the empirical density of a vector of discrete values, approximating the probability mass function (pmf). This can be considered a more appropriate alternative to plot(density(x)) in the case of a vector with a discrete (non-continuous) support, such as that calculated by an abundance estimator.

Usage

plotdiscdensity(x, xlab = "value", ylab = "density", ...)

Arguments

x

The vector of values to plot

xlab

The X-axis label for plotting

ylab

The Y-axis label for plotting
