fixedpointproperty (version 1.0)

fpDensDiff: Function to compute the crossing point of two kernel-based distribution functions

Description

This function takes a list of fpp objects, and computes at which point the distributions cross each other.

Usage

fpDensDiff(object)

Value

An m * n-array containing the crossing points of the pairs of distributions, with n the length of the list of fpp objects, and m the number of pairs of distributions.

Arguments

object

a list of fpp objects

Examples

## generate data
p <- c(.1,.5,.9)
rt <- sapply(1:3, function(i) {rnormMix(10000, c(1,2), c(1,1), p[i])})
dat <- data.frame(rt=c(rt), cond=rep(1:3, each=10000), pp=rep(1:50, each=200, times=3))

## compute the list of fpp objects
res <- tapply(1:nrow(dat), dat$pp, function(X) {fpGet(dat[X,], 1000, bw=.75)})

## get the crossing points
crosses=fpDensDiff(res)
boxplot(t(crosses), frame.plot=FALSE,xlab="Crossing point", ylab="Condition pair", 
  names=c("1-2","2-3","1-3"), horizontal=TRUE)
