multi.hist: Multiple histograms with density and normal fits on one page

Description

Given a matrix or data.frame, produce histograms for each variable in a "matrix" form. Include normal fits and density distributions for each plot.

The number of rows and columns may be specified, or calculated.

May be used for single variables.

Usage

multi.hist(x,nrow=NULL,ncol=NULL,density=TRUE,freq=FALSE,bcol="white",
      dcol=c("black","black"),dlty=c("dashed","dotted"),
      main="Histogram, Density, and Normal Fit",...)

Arguments

x

matrix or data.frame

nrow

number of rows in the plot

ncol

number of columns in the plot

density

density=TRUE, show the normal fits and density distributions

freq

freq=FALSE shows probability densities and density distribution, freq=TRUE shows frequencies

bcol

Color for the bars

dcol

The color(s) for the normal and the density fits. Defaults to black.

dlty

The line type (lty) of the normal and density fits. (specify the optional graphic parameter lwd to change the line size)

main

title for each panel

...

additional graphic parameters (e.g., col)

Examples

multi.hist(sat.act) 
multi.hist(sat.act,bcol="red")
multi.hist(sat.act,dcol="blue")  #make both lines blue
multi.hist(sat.act,dcol= c("blue","red"),dlty=c("dotted", "solid")) 
multi.hist(sat.act,freq=TRUE)   #show the frequency plot
multi.hist(sat.act,nrow=2)
