I recently wrote a function for the mosaic package that makes it easy to generate various kinds of plots of distributions. For example, to plot a Binom(30,.35) distribution, you just use:

distPlot("binom",params=list(size=30, prob=.35))

and get the attached plot (if it makes it through to the list).



Additional arguments let you choose between different kinds of plots (density, histogram, qq, cdf), and there is a heuristic to guess whether the distribution is discrete or continuous and to the right thing.

I didn't set these up to make it easy to add the shading, but I think I could modify things to make that possible too. Stay tuned.

Dear R users:

I am currently teaching a course in Statistics. Can someone give an R code(s) to create a biomodal curve(s) with shaded area of 90% and with 5% in each tail

With many thanks
