Sorry for re-iterating - but are there any suggestions on how I

this problem?
You could start by providing an operational definition for "identity
the areas where d.all is significantly larger then d.co and where it
is significantly smaller" when presumably working from a perspective
off not knowing anything about the parent distributions for the random
draws. I had no notion of piecewise significance of differences in
densities and figured you were the the one advancing the notion, so
you should be defining what you meant. I was expecting one of my
statistical betters to step in can correct or comment on the
statistical issues, but that hasn't yet happened, so if you have an
operational definition, we could try to implement it across the range
of the two empiric densities.

Hi
this might be a little bit off topic, but here it goes: lets assume
I have
the following:
set.seed(13)
dat1 <- rnorm(2000, mean=10, sd=10)
dat2 <- rnorm(100, mean=10, sd=20)
d.all <- density(dat, n=1024)
d.co <- density(x[[v]], , from=min(d.all$x), to=max(d.all$x),
n=1024)
d.diff <- list(
x = d.all$x,
y = d.all$y - d.co$y
)
ylim <- range(c(d.all$y, d.co$y, d.diff$y))
plot(
d.all,
ylim = ylim
)
abline(h=0)
lines(d.co, col="red")
lines(d.diff$x, d.diff$y, col="blue")
Now I would like to identify the areas where d.all is significantly
larger
then d.co and where it is significantly smaller.
What is the easiest approach to do this? At the moment I am not
doing any
tests, but I am sure there is a way to determine the ranges
statistically?
Thanks,
Rainer
