plotContours: Draws depth contours of bivariate data

Description

Draws the depth contours of bivariate data computed with depthContour.

Usage

plotContours(x, depthContour, data = TRUE)

Arguments

x

An \(n\) by 2 data matrix.

depthContour

The result of a call to depthContour.

data

Logical value indicating whether the data x should be plotted.

Author

P. Segaert

Details

The plot is made using ggplot2. The plot itself is returned by the function and is fully customisable using standard ggplot2 commands.

Examples

# Compute and plot some halfspace depth contours of a two-dimensional dataset. 
# The returned object is a ggplot2 object that may be edited 
# using standard ggplot2 commands.
data(cardata90)
Result <- depthContour(x = cardata90,
                       alpha = c(0.125, 0.25))
plot <- plotContours(x = cardata90, depthContour = Result)
plot + ylab("Engine displacement") + xlab("Weight in pounds")

# One may consider different depth functions such as projection depth 
# by changing the input parameter 'type' in the depthcontour function.
Result <- depthContour(x = cardata90,
                       alpha = c(0.35, 0.55),
                       type = "projdepth")
plotContours(x = cardata90, depthContour = Result)
