ternary_ellipse: Add an Ellipse to a Ternary Plot

Description

Computes and draws a confidence/tolerance ellipse.

Usage

ternary_ellipse(x, y, z, ...)
ternary_confidence(x, y, z, ...)
ternary_tolerance(x, y, z, ...)
# S4 method for numeric,numeric,numeric
ternary_ellipse(x, y, z, radius = 1, ...)
# S4 method for ANY,missing,missing
ternary_ellipse(x, radius = 1, ...)
# S4 method for numeric,numeric,numeric
ternary_confidence(x, y, z, level = 0.95, ...)
# S4 method for ANY,missing,missing
ternary_confidence(x, level = 0.95, ...)
# S4 method for numeric,numeric,numeric
ternary_tolerance(x, y, z, level = 0.95, ...)
# S4 method for ANY,missing,missing
ternary_tolerance(x, level = 0.95, ...)

Value

ternary_ellipse() is called it for its side-effects.

Arguments

x, y, z

A numeric vector giving the x, y and z ternary coordinates of a set of points. If y and z are missing, an attempt is made to interpret x in a suitable way (see grDevices::xyz.coords()).

...

Further arguments to be passed to graphics::polygon().

radius

A numeric vector specifying the scaling of the half-diameters.

level

A numeric vector specifying the confidence/tolerance level.

Author

N. Frerebeau

Details

Ellipse coordinates are computed after an isometric log ratio transformation of the original data.
