boxplot.SpatialStreamNetwork: Box-and-whisker plots for data within SpatialStreamNetwork objects.

Description

The boxplot function creates box-and-whisker plots for data within SpatialStreamNetwork-classobjects.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'SpatialStreamNetwork':
boxplot(x, variable, ...)

Arguments

x

an object of class SpatialStreamNetwork-class

variable

the variable (in quotes) for which the boxplots are being created, or a formula, such as y ~ grp, where y is a numeric vector of data values and grp is a grouping of variables (usually a factor).

...

see boxplot for additional arguments

Value

• A graph is produced, and a list with the following components:
• stats
  a matrix, each column contains the extreme of the lower whisker, the lower hinge, the median, the upper hinge and the extreme of the upper whisker for each group/plot. If all the inputs have the same class attribute, then so will this component.
• n
  a vector with the number of observations in each group.
• conf
  a matrix where each column contains the lower and upper extremes of the notch.
• out
  the values of any data points which lie beyond the extremes of the whiskers.
• group
  a vector of the same length as out whose elements indicate to which group the outlier belongs.
• names
  a vector of names for the groups

Details

boxplot is a generic function that has been adapted for SpatialStreamNetwork-classobjects. Use names to get a list of the variable names within the SpatialStreamNetwork object; the boxplot boxplot will only work for the observed data set.
