plot-methods: Method "plot" for Classes "oneAgeTest" and "ageTests"

Description

Display densities of the ages calculated by the function calculateAges(), as well as the common age(s) density(ies) as returned by the function tests().

Usage

# S4 method for oneAgeTest
plot(x, y = NULL, main = "", col = "red")

Arguments

x

an object of class "oneAgeTest" or "ageTests" (see section Methods)

y

NUll

main

a character string, title of the plot

col

a character string, color of the common age(s) density(ies)

Usage

plot(x, ...)

Methods

• signature(object = "oneAgeTest"): an object of type oneAgeTest as produced by the function tests().

• ...: further arguments passed to the function plot().

• signature(object = "ageTests"): an object of type ageTests as produced by the function tests().

• ...: further arguments passed to the function plot().

Details

The estimated densities are Gaussian, as supposed by the model described in Montel et al. (1996). Each density is referenced by its number to help identify outliers or invalid measurements.

Also note that if an object of class oneAgeTest is passed to the function, the common age(s) densities is displayed even if the test of the function tests() is rejected.

If argument col is supplied, it is used to display the density(ies) of the common age(s).
