spread.grouped: Spreading grouped data over intervals
Description
Assuming that counts represents the frequencies of observations
falling into intervals identified by breaks, the function returns
a vector of values obtained by uniformly spreading each group of data
over the pertaining interval.
Usage
spread.grouped(breaks, counts, shift = "centre")
Value
A numeric vector of length sum(counts) of values
within range(breaks).
Arguments
breaks
A numeric vector of strictly increasing finite values
which identify a set of contiguous intervals on the real line.
counts
A vector of non-negative integers representing the number
of observations falling in the intervals specified by breaks;
it is then required that length(counts)+1=length(breaks).
shift
a character string which regulates the positioning of the
constructed points within a given interval, with possible values
"left", "center" (default choice) and "right",
possibly abbreviated.
