list of distributions to be compared; each distribution is an element of the list
nbins
number of equally spaced points at which the overlapping density is evaluated
plot
logical, if TRUE, final plot of estimated densities and overlapped areas is produced
partial.plot
logical, if TRUE, partial paired distributions are plotted
Value
It returns a list containing the following components:
DD
Data frame with information used for computing overlapping, containing the following variables:
x, coordinates of the points where the density is estimated;
y, density;
j, index of the distribution in the list x;
xclass, class of x;
xnum, numerical class of x (obtained by cutnumeric);
dominance, indicates which distribution has the highest density;
w, flag 0-1 for normalizing area;
k, label indicating which distributions are compared
OV
Estimates of overlapped areas relative to each couple of distributions.
xpoints
Abscissas of intersection points among the density curves.

Details
If the list x contains more than two elements (i.e. more than two distributions) it computes all overlapping between all paired distributions. Partial plots refer to these coupled distributions.
If plot=TRUE, all overlapped areas are plotted. It requires lattice.
