plot.uncertainty {uncertainty}

Plots a probability density function related to the measurand model

Description

Plot a probability density function attributed to the measurand, depending on the selected method to estimate the uncertainty.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'uncertainty'
plot(x, y = NULL, xlab = parse(text = x$measurand_label), 
main = "", ylab = "Probability density", from = x$mean - 4 * x$u, to = x$mean + 4 * x$u, 
lwd = 2, add = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

An uncertainty object

y

not used, exists only for compatibility with the S3 generic function.

xlab

string or expression, label for the x-axis.

main

string or expression, label for the plot.

ylab

string or expression, label for the y-axis.

from

numeric, lower value of the x-axis to display.

to

numeric, upper valur of the x-axis to display.

lwd

numeric, line width.

add

logic, decides to add the curve into an existing plot or to create a new plot.

...

additional parameters.

Details

none

Value

None (invisible NULL)

Note

none

Examples

# create an uncertainty budget
cor.mat<- matrix(c(1,-0.7,-0.7,1),2,2)

u.budget<- uncertaintyBudget(x=list(name=c("x0","x1"), 
	mean=c(10,20), u=c(1,5), dof=c(10,10),
	label=c("x[0]", "x[1]"), distribution=c("normal","normal")), 
	y=cor.mat)

# estimate the measurand uncertainty using an uncertainty budget,
# a measurand definition and a selected estimating method.
GFO.res<- uncertainty(x=u.budget, 
y=list(measurand_name="ratio.GFO", measurand_label="ratio[GFO]", 
measurand_model="x0/x1", method="GFO", alpha=0.05))

# plot the estimated pdf of the measurand
## Not run: plot(GFO.res)
