shade.norm: Shading functions for interpretation of pdf probabilities.

Description

Creates plots with lower, upper, two-tailed, and middle of the distribution shading for popular pdfs.

Usage

shade.norm(x = NULL, from = NULL, to = NULL, sigma = 1, mu = 0,
tail = "lower", show.p = TRUE, show.d = FALSE, show.dist = TRUE, digits = 5,
legend.cex = .9, shade.col="gray",...)

shade.t(x = NULL, from = NULL, to = NULL, nu = 3, tail = "lower", 
show.p = TRUE, show.d = FALSE, show.dist = TRUE, digits = 5,legend.cex = .9, 
shade.col="gray",...)

shade.F(x = NULL, from = NULL, to = NULL, nu1 = 1, nu2 = 5, 
tail = "lower", show.p = TRUE, show.d = FALSE, show.dist = TRUE, 
prob.to.each.tail = 0.025, digits = 5, legend.cex = .9,shade.col="gray",...)

shade.chi(x = NULL, from = NULL, to = NULL, nu = 1, tail = "lower", 
show.p = TRUE, show.d = FALSE, show.dist = TRUE, prob.to.each.tail = 0.025, 
digits = 5,legend.cex = .9,shade.col="gray",...)

shade.bin(x=NULL,from=NULL,to=NULL,n=1,p=0.5,tail="X=x",show.p=TRUE,
show.dist=TRUE, show.d=FALSE,legend.cex = .9,digits=5, ...)

shade.poi(x=NULL,from=NULL,to=NULL,lambda=5,tail="X=x",show.p=TRUE,
show.dist=TRUE, show.d=FALSE,legend.cex = .9,digits=5, ...)

shade.wei(x = NULL, from = NULL, to = NULL, theta = 1, beta = 1, tail = "lower", 
show.p = TRUE, show.d = FALSE, show.dist = TRUE, prob.to.each.tail = 0.025, 
digits = 5, legend.cex = 0.9, shade.col = "gray", ...)

Arguments

x

A quantile, i.e. $X = x$.

from

To be used with tail = "middle"; the value a in $P(a < X < b)$.

to

To be used with tail = "middle"; the value b in $P(a < X < b)$.

sigma

Standard deviation for the nomral distribution.

mu

Mean of the normal distribution.

tail

One of four possibilities: "lower" provides lower tail shading, "upper" provides upper tail shading, "two" provides two tail shading, and "middle" provide shading in the middle of the pdf, between

show.p

Logical; indicating whether probabilities are to be shown.

show.d

Logical; indicating whether densities are to be shown.

show.dist

Logical; indicating whether parameters for the distribution are to be shown.

nu

Degrees of freedom.

nu1

Numerator degrees of freedom for the F-distribution.

nu2

Denominator degrees of freedom for the F-distribution.

prob.to.each.tail

Probability to be apportioned to each tail in the F and Chi-square distributions if tail = "two".

digits

Number of digits to be reported in probsabilities and densities.

n

The number of trials for the binomial pdf.

p

The binomial probability of success.

lambda

The Poisson parameter (i.e. rate).

legend.cex

Character expansion for legends in plots.

shade.col

Color of probability shading.

theta

Pdf parameter.

beta

Pdf parameter.

...

Additional arguments to plot.

Value

• Returns a plot with the requested pdf and probability shading.
