bandplot {gplots} | R Documentation |
Plot x-y Points with lines showing the locally smoothed mean and standard deviation.
bandplot(x, y, ..., add = FALSE, sd = c(-2:2), sd.col = c("lightblue", "blue", "red", "blue", "lightblue"), sd.lwd = c(1, 2, 3, 2, 1), sd.lty = c(2, 1, 1, 1, 2), method = "frac", width = 1/5, n=50)
x |
numeric vector of x locations |
y |
numeric vector of x locations |
... |
Additional plotting parameters. |
add |
Boolean indicating whether the local mean and standard deviation lines should be added to an existing plot. Defaults to FALSE. |
sd |
Vector of multiples of the standard devation that should be
plotted. 0 gives the mean, -1 gives the mean minus
one standard deviation, etc. Defaults to -2:2. |
sd.col,sd.lwd,sd.lty |
Color, line width, and line type of each plotted line. |
method, width, n |
Parameters controlling the smoothing. See the
help page for wapply for details. |
bandplot
was created to look for changes in the mean or
variance of scatter plots, particularly plots of regression residuals.
The local mean and standard deviation are calculated by calling 'wapply'. By default, bandplot asks wapply to smooth using intervals that include the nearest 1/5 of the data. See the documentation of that function for details on the algorithm.
Invisibly returns a list containing the x,y points plotted for each line.
