Plots beans to compare the distributions of different groups; it draws one bean per group of data. A bean consists of a one-dimensional scatter plot, its distribution as a density shape and an average line for the distribution. Next to that, an overall average for the whole plot is drawn per default.
beanplot(..., bw = "SJ-dpi", kernel = "gaussian", cut = 3, cutmin = -Inf,
cutmax = Inf, grownage = 10, what = c(TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE),
add = FALSE, col, axes = TRUE, log = "auto", handlelog = NA,
ll = 0.16, wd = NA, maxwidth = 0.8, maxstripline = 0.96,
method = "stack", names, overallline = "mean", beanlines = overallline,
horizontal = FALSE, side = "no", jitter = NULL, beanlinewd = 2,
frame.plot = axes, border = NULL, innerborder = NA, at = NULL,
boxwex = 1, ylim = NULL, xlim = NULL, show.names = NA)data which to perform the beanplot on. This data can consist of dataframes, vectors and/or formulas. For each formula, a dataset can be specified with data=[dataset], and a subset can be specified with subset=[subset]. If subset/data arguments are passed, but there are not enough subset/data arguments, they are reused. Additionally, na.action, drop.unused.levels and xlev can be passed to model.frame in the same way. Also, parameters for axis and title can be passed.
the bandwidth (method) being used, used by density. In case of a method, the average computed bandwidth is used.
see density.
the beans are cut beyond cut*bw
the low-ends of the beans are cut below mincut*bw. Defaults to cut.
the high-ends of the beans are cut beyond maxcut*bw. Defaults to cut.
the width of a bean grows linearly with the count of points, until grownage is reached.
a vector of four booleans describing what to plot. In the following order, these booleans stand for the total average line, the beans, the bean average, and the beanlines. For example, what=c(0,0,0,1) produces a stripchart
if true, do not start a new plot
the colors to be used. A vector of up to four colors can be used. In the following order, these colors stand for the area of the beans (without the border, use border for that color), the lines inside the bean, the lines outside the bean, and the average line per bean. Transparent colors are supported. col can be a list of color vectors, the vectors are then used per bean, and reused if necessary.
if false, no axes are drawn.
use log="y" or log="" to force a log-axis. In case of log="auto", a log-transformation is used if appropriate
if handlelog then all the calculations are done using a log-scale. By default this is determined using the log parameter.
the length of the beanline per point found.
the linear transformation that determines the width of the beans. By default determined using maxwidth, and returned.
the maximum width of a bean.
the maximum length of a beanline.
the method used when two points on a bean are the same. "stack", "overplot" and "jitter" are supported.
a vector of names for the groups.
the method used for determining the overall line. Defaults to "mean", "median" is also supported.
the method used for determining the average bean line(s). Defaults to "mean", "median" and "quantiles" are also supported.
if true, the beanplot is horizontal
the side on which the beans are plot. Default is "no", for symmetric beans. "first", "second" and "both" are also supported.
passed to jitter as amount in case of method="jitter".
the width used for the average bean line
if true, plots a frame.
the color for the border around a bean. NULL for par("fg"), NA for no border. If border is a vector, it specifies the color per bean, and colors are reused if necessary.
a color (vector) for the border inside the bean(s). Especially useful if side="both". Use NA for no inner border. Colors are reused if necessary. The inner border is drawn as the last step in the drawing process.
the positions at which a bean should be drawn.
a scale factor applied to all beans. Compatible with boxplot.
the range to plot.
the range to plot the beans at.
if true, plots the names as axis labels
the bandwidth (bw) used.
the bean width (wd) used.
a vector of names for the groups.
a vector of statistics calculated for the beanlines.
statistic calculated for the overall line.
log axis that was selected.
Use the "what" parameter to omit certain parts from drawing.
Most parameters are compatible with boxplot and
stripchart. For compatibility, arguments with the
name "formula" or "x" are used as data. However, data or formulas
do not need to be named "x" or "formula". The function handles
(combinations of) dataframes, vectors and/or formulas.
