paretoChart: paretoChart: Pareto Chart

Description

Function to create a Pareto chart, displaying the relative frequency of categories.

Usage

paretoChart(
  x,
  weight,
  main,
  col,
  border,
  xlab,
  ylab = "Frequency",
  percentVec,
  showTable = TRUE,
  showPlot = TRUE
)

Value

paretoChart returns a Pareto chart along with a frequency table if showTable is TRUE. Additionally, the function returns an invisible list containing:

plot

The generated Pareto chart.

table

A data.frame with the frequencies and percentages of the categories.

Arguments

x

A vector of qualitative values.

weight

A numeric vector of weights corresponding to each category in x.

main

A character string for the main title of the plot.

col

A numerical value or character string defining the fill-color of the bars.

border

A numerical value or character string defining the border-color of the bars.

xlab

A character string for the x-axis label.

ylab

A character string for the y-axis label. By default, ylab is set to `Frequency`.

percentVec

A numerical vector giving the position and values of tick marks for percentage axis.

showTable

Logical value indicating whether to display a table of frequencies. By default, showTable is set to TRUE.

showPlot

Logical value indicating whether to display the Pareto chart. By default, showPlot is set to TRUE.

Examples

# Example 1: Creating a Pareto chart for defect types
defects1 <- c(rep("E", 62), rep("B", 15), rep("F", 3), rep("A", 10),
              rep("C", 20), rep("D", 10))
paretoChart(defects1)

# Example 2: Creating a Pareto chart with weighted frequencies
defects2 <- c("E", "B", "F", "A", "C", "D")
frequencies <- c(62, 15, 3, 10, 20, 10)
weights <- c(1.5, 2, 0.5, 1, 1.2, 1.8)
names(weights) <- defects2  # Assign names to the weights vector

paretoChart(defects2, weight = frequencies * weights)
