plot.tsd: Plot results of tsd() that best describe temperature-dependent sex determination

Description

Plot the estimates that best describe temperature-dependent sex determination

Usage

## S3 method for class 'tsd':
plot(x, ..., se = NULL, l = 0.05, males.freq = TRUE,
  las.x = 1, las.y = 1, lab.PT = "Pivotal temperature",
  lab.TRT = paste0("Transitional range of temperatures l=", l * 100, "\%"),
  col.TRT = "gray", col.TRT.CI = rgb(0.8, 0.8, 0.8, 0.5),
  col.PT.CI = rgb(0.8, 0.8, 0.8, 0.5), show.CI = TRUE, replicate = 1000,
  range.CI = 0.95, limit.low.TRT.minimum = 5, limit.high.TRT.maximum = 90,
  print = TRUE)

Arguments

x

A result file generated by tsd()

...

Parameters for plot()

se

Standard error for parameters

l

The limit to define TRT (see Girondot, 1999)

males.freq

Should the graph uses males frequency [TRUE] or females [FALSE]

las.x

las parameter for x axis

las.y

las parameter for y axis

lab.PT

Label to describe pivotal temperature

lab.TRT

Label to describe transitional range of temperature

col.TRT

The color of TRT

col.TRT.CI

The color of CI of TRT based on range.CI

col.PT.CI

The color of CI of PT based on range.CI

show.CI

Do the CI for the curve should be shown

replicate

Number of replicate to estimate SE of TRT

range.CI

The range of confidence interval for estimation, default=0.95

limit.low.TRT.minimum

Minimum lower limit for TRT

limit.high.TRT.maximum

Maximum higher limit for TRT

print

Do the results must be printed at screen? TRUE or FALSE

Value

• A list the pivotal temperature, transitional range of temperatures and their SE

Details
