clustered.dotplots: Display the frequencies of two categories

Description

clustered.dotplots displays a contingency table as clusters of symbols on a plot. It expects xgroup and ygroup to contain all or some of the combinations of their unique values. It also expects freq to contain the number of instances of each combination.

Usage

clustered.dotplots(xgroup, ygroup, freq, type = "circles",
 main="",xlab="",ylab="",x_las=1,y_las=1,axes=TRUE,size=1,...)

Arguments

xgroup,ygroup

Vectors that specify the two groupings to be displayed (see Details).

freq

The frequencies in the two groupings.

type

The type of symbols to use as "dots".

main,xlab,ylab

As in plot.

x_las,y_las

Orientation of the axis tick labels.

axes

Whether to display axes.

size

Spacing for the clusters.

...

additional arguments passed to "points".

Value

nil
