tol.classplot: Plot tolerance contour classification scheme

Description

Permits illustration of the uniquely identified tolerance contour regions arising from a call to tol.classify.

Usage

tol.classplot(pcpolys, add = FALSE, annotate = TRUE, ...)

Value

Plots to the relevant graphics device.

Arguments

pcpolys

A list of polygonal windows, each of class owin. This will almost always be the pcpolys component of the object returned by a call to tol.classify.

add

A logical value indicating whether to add the unique regions to an existing plot (see 'Examples').

annotate

A logical value indicating whether to annotate each unique region with its identifying number (which will correspond to the uniquely split/classified points in a corresponding call to tol.classify).

...

Additional arguments to be passed to text to control the appearance of the annotations when annotate=TRUE.

Details

The tol.classify function permits identification of individual significance regions (that is, the tolerance contours). In turn, tol.classplot may be used to visualise these regions optionally annotated by their unique identification number to better understand the region-specific classifications of the case and control points.
