ICS (version 1.4-1)

screeplot.ics: Screeplot for an ICS Object

Description

Plots the kurtosis measures of an ics object against its index number. Two versions of this screeplot are available.

Usage

# S3 method for ics
screeplot(x, index = NULL, type = "barplot", 
          main = deparse(substitute(x)), ylab = "generalized kurtosis", 
          xlab = "component", names.arg = index, labels = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x

object of class ics.

index

index of the components to be plottes. If NULL all components are used.

type

barplot if a barplot or lines if a line plot is preferred.

main

main title of the plot.

ylab

y-axis label.

xlab

x-axis label.

names.arg

names.arg argument passed on to barplot.

labels

labels argument for the labels of the x-axis passed on to axis.

...

other arguments for the plotting functions.
