yf {ternvis}

y coordinate of a ternary forecast in barycentric coordinates

Description

This is a utility function to calculate the y-coordinate of a point in barycentric coordinates. It is unlikely that the user will want to use this function directly.

Usage

yf(p = cbind(1, 1, 1)/3, M = tsetup()$M32)

Arguments

p

An n-by-3 matrix of ternary forecasts.

M

A 2-by-3 matrix describing the transfromation for R^3 to R^2.

Value

An n-by-1 array of y-values for use in plotting.
