compare.dynamic.distributions: Compare Dynamic Distributions

Description

Produce a plot showing several stacked dynamic distributions over the same horizontal axis.

Usage

CompareDynamicDistributions(
    list.of.curves,
    timestamps,
    style = c("dynamic", "boxplot"),
    xlab = "Time",
    ylab = "",
    frame.labels = rep("", length(list.of.curves)),
    main = "",
    actuals = NULL,
    col.actuals = "blue",
    pch.actuals = 1,
    cex.actuals = 1,
    vertical.cuts = NULL,
    ...)

Arguments

list.of.curves: A list of matrices, all having the same number of columns. Each matrix represents a distribution of curves, with rows corresponding to individual curves, and columns to time points.
timestamps: A vector of time stamps, with length matching the number of columns in each element of list.of.curves.
style: Should the curves be represented using a dynamic distribution plot, or boxplots. Boxplots are better for small numbers of time points. Dynamic distribution plots are better for large numbers of time points.
xlab: Label for the horizontal axis.
ylab: Label for the (outer) vertical axis.
frame.labels: Labels for the vertical axis of each subplot. The length must match the number of plot.
main: Main title for the plot.
actuals: If non-NULL, actuals should be a numeric vector giving the actual "true" value at each time point.
col.actuals: Color to use for the actuals. See par.
pch.actuals: Plotting character(s) to use for the actuals. See par.
cex.actuals: Scale factor for actuals. See par.
vertical.cuts: If non-NULL then this must be a vector of the same type as timestamps with length matching the number of plots. A vertical line will be drawn at this location for each plot. Entries with the value NA signal that no vertical line should be drawn for that entry.
...: Extra arguments passed to PlotDynamicDistribution or TimeSeriesBoxplot.
