concareaExampleKola: Concentration Area Plot for Kola data example

Description

Displays a concentration area plot example for the Kola data. This procedure ist useful for determining if mulitple populations that are spatially dependent are present in a data set. For a more general function see concarea.

Usage

concareaExampleKola(x, y, z, zname = deparse(substitute(z)),
caname = deparse(substitute(z)), borders="bordersKola", logx = FALSE, ifjit = FALSE,
ifrev = FALSE, ngrid = 100, ncp = 0, xlim = NULL, xcoord = "Easting",
ycoord = "Northing", ifbw = FALSE, x.logfinetick = c(2, 5, 10),
y.logfinetick = c(2, 5, 10))

Arguments

x

name of the x-axis spatial coordinate, the eastings

y

name of the y-axis spatial coordinate, the northings

z

name of the variable to be processed and plotted

zname

a title for the x-axes of the qp-plot and concentration area plot.

caname

a title for the image of interpolated data.

borders

either NULL or character string with the name of the list with list elements x and y for x- and y-coordinates of map borders

logx

if it is required to make a logarithmis data transformation for the interpolation

ifrev

if FALSE the empirical function ist plotted from highest value to lowest

ngrid

default value is 100

xlim

the range for the x-axis

xcoord

a title for the x-axis, defaults to "Easting"

ycoord

a title for the y-axis, defaults to "Northing"

ifbw

if the plot is drawn in black and white

x.logfinetick

how fine are the tick marks on log-scale on x-axis

y.logfinetick

how fine are the tick marks on log-scale on y-axis

ifjit

default value is FALSE

ncp

default value is 0

Value

An example concentration area plot for Kola is created.

Details

The function assumes that the area is proportional to the count of grid points. To be a reasonable model the data points should be 'evenly' spread over the plane. The interpolated grid size ist computed as (max(x) - min(x))/ngrid, with a default value of 100 for ngrid. Akima's interpolation function is used to obtain a linear interpolation between the spatial data values.
