Compositional (version 5.5)

Contour plot of mixtures of Dirichlet distributions in S^2: Contour plot of mixtures of Dirichlet distributions in \(S^2\)

Description

Contour plot of mixtures of Dirichlet distributions in \(S^2\).

Usage

mixdiri.contour(a, prob, n = 100, x = NULL, cont.line = FALSE)

Arguments

a

A matrix where each row contains the parameters of each Dirichlet disctribution.

prob

A vector with the mixing probabilities.

n

The number of grid points to consider over which the density is calculated.

x

This is either NULL (no data) or contains a 3 column matrix with compositional data.

cont.line

Do you want the contour lines to appear? If yes, set this TRUE.

Value

A ternary diagram with the points and the Dirichlet contour lines.

Details

The user can plot only the contour lines of a Dirichlet with a given vector of parameters, or can also add the relevant data should he/she wish to.
