Plots conditional densities

Produces stacked density plots or highest density region plots for a univariate density conditional on one covariate.

Usage

# S3 method for cde
plot(
  x,
  firstvar = 1,
  mfrow = n2mfrow(dim(x$z)[firstvar]),
  plot.fn = "stacked",
  x.name,
  margin = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

x: Output from cde.
firstvar: If there is more than one conditioning variable, firstvar specifies which variable to fix first.
mfrow: If there is more than one conditioning variable, mfrow is passed to par before plotting.
plot.fn: Specifies which plotting function to use: "stacked" results in stacked conditional densities and "hdr" results in highest density regions.
x.name: Name of x (conditioning) variable for use on x-axis.
margin: Marginal density of conditioning variable. If present, only conditional densities corresponding to non-negligible marginal densities will be plotted.
...: Additional arguments to plot.

Value

If plot.fn=="stacked" and there is only one conditioning variable, the function returns the output from persp. If plot.fn=="hdr" and there is only one conditioning variable, the function returns the output from hdr.cde. When there is more than one conditioning variable, nothing is returned.
