FD.ternaryplot: Ternary Plot of a Flexible Dirichlet

Description

Ternary plot and contour lines of the density function of a fitted Flexible Dirichlet distribution.

Usage

FD.ternaryplot(x, zoomed = T, showgrid = T, showdata = T, nlevels = 10)

Arguments

x

an object of class FDfitted, usually the result of FD.estimation.

zoomed

if TRUE, shows only the area where most of the density is concentrated. If FALSE, shows the whole area of the ternary diagram.

showgrid

if TRUE, shows the axis and the labels. If FALSE, only the graph is printed.

showdata

if TRUE, prints the data points. If FALSE, shows only the contour lines.

nlevels

approximate number of contour lines to be drawn.

Details

The number of variables in the fitted model must be 3 to draw a ternary plot.
