Usage

"plot"(x, draw.line = TRUE, cut.end = 0.1, ...)

Arguments

x

a capdist object.

draw.line

TRUE or FALSE. If true, a straight line is fitted to the capital distribution curve. The default value is TRUE.

cut.end

A number between 0 and 1. It is the proportion of the smallest assets that will be ignored when fitting a straight line to the capital distribution curve. The default value is 0.1.
