Dear Rgurus,
To my knowledge the best way to visualize the distribution of a discrete variable X is
plot(table(X))
The problem which I have is the following. I have to discrete variables X and Y which distribution I would like to compare. To overlay the distribution of Y with lines(table(Y)) gives not satisfying results. This is the same in case of using density or histogram.
Hence, I am wondering if there is a equivalent of the vioplot function (package vioplot) for discrete variables
which starts with a boxplot and than adds a rotated plot(table()) plot to each side of the box plot.
Maybee I should ask it first: Does such a plot make any sense? If not are there better solutions?
cheers Eryk.
