Description

Functions to handle shingles

Usage

shingle(x, intervals=sort(unique(x)))
equal.count(x, ...)
as.shingle(x)
is.shingle(x)
## S3 method for class 'shingle':
plot(x, col, aspect, \dots)
## S3 method for class 'shingle':
print(x, showValues = TRUE, \dots)
## S3 method for class 'shingleLevel':
print(x, \dots)
## S3 method for class 'shingle':
summary(object, \dots)
## S3 method for class 'shingle':
as.data.frame(x, row.names = NULL, optional = FALSE)
x[subset, drop = FALSE]
as.factorOrShingle(x, subset, drop)

Arguments

x
numeric variable or R object, shingle in plot.shingle, x[]. An object (list of intervals) of class "shingleLevel" in print.shingleLevel
object
shingle object to be summarized
showValues
logical, whether to print the numeric part. If FALSE, only the intervals are printed
row.names
a character vector giving the row names for the data frame
optional
logical. If `TRUE', setting row names is optional
intervals
numeric vector or matrix with 2 columns
subset
logical vector
drop
whether redundant shingle levels are to be dropped
col
color to fill the rectangles, defaults to bar.fill$col
aspect
aspect ratio
...
other arguments, passed to co.intervals

Value

  • x$intervals for levels.shingle(x), logical for is.shingle, an object of class ``trellis'' for plot (printed by default by print.trellis), and an object of class ``shingle'' for the others.

Details

A shingle is a data structure used in Trellis, and is meant to be a generalization of factors to `continuous' variables. It consists of a numeric vector along with some possibly overlapping intervals. These intervals are the `levels' of the shingle. The levels and nlevels functions, usually applicable to factors, are also applicable to shingles.

There are print methods for shingles, as well as for printing the result of levels() applied to a shingle.

The implementation of shingles is slightly different from S.

equal.count converts x to a shingle. Essentially a wrapper around co.intervals. All arguments are passed to co.intervals

shingle creates a shingle using the given intervals. If intervels is a vector, these are used to form 0 length intervals.

as.shingle returns shingle(x) if x is not a shingle.

is.shingle tests whether x is a shingle.

plot.shingle displays the ranges of shingles via rectangles. print.shingle and summary.shingle describe the shingle object.

Examples

Run this code
z <- equal.count(rnorm(50))
plot(z)
print(z)
print(levels(z))
<testonly>data.frame(x = equal.count(rnorm(100)), y = rnorm(100))</testonly>
