[R] Cumulative lattice histograms

2008-05-12 Thread Ola Caster
Dear all,

It's fairly straightforward to plot cumulative histograms using the hist()
function. You do something like:

h - hist(rnorm(100), plot=FALSE)
h$counts- cumsum(h$counts)
plot(h)

However, I have failed to find any example where this is done using the
lattice histogram() function. I realize I need to slightly alter the panel
function panel.histogram. Specifially I would like to add the following line
in red, just like I did above:

function (x, breaks, equal.widths = TRUE, type = density, nint =
round(log2(length(x)) +
1), alpha = plot.polygon$alpha, col = plot.polygon$col, border =
plot.polygon$border,
lty = plot.polygon$lty, lwd = plot.polygon$lwd, ...)
{
plot.polygon - trellis.par.get(plot.polygon)
xscale - current.panel.limits()$xlim
panel.lines(x = xscale[1] + diff(xscale) * c(0.05, 0.95),
y = c(0, 0), col = border, lty = lty, lwd = lwd, alpha = alpha)
if (length(x)  0) {
if (is.null(breaks)) {
breaks - if (is.factor(x))
seq_len(1 + nlevels(x)) - 0.5
else if (equal.widths)
do.breaks(range(x, finite = TRUE), nint)
else quantile(x, 0:nint/nint, na.rm = TRUE)
}
h - hist.constructor(x, breaks = breaks, ...)

h$counts- cumsum(h$counts)

y - if (type == count)
h$counts
else if (type == percent)
100 * h$counts/length(x)
else h$intensities
breaks - h$breaks
nb - length(breaks)
if (length(y) != nb - 1)
warning(problem with 'hist' computations)
if (nb  1) {
panel.rect(x = breaks[-nb], y = 0, height = y, width =
diff(breaks),
col = col, alpha = alpha, border = border, lty = lty,
lwd = lwd, just = c(left, bottom))
}
}
}
environment: namespace:lattice


My problem is I'm too unexperienced in handling these panel functions to
achieve this. Simply copying the panel function, appending the line, and
giving it another name obviously doesn't work (it won't find the function
hist.constructor). I would very much appreciate help on how this could be
done, or some other way to draw cumulative lattice histograms.

Thanks in advance,
Ola Caster

Re: [R] histogram() with Date class?

Thanks a lot Deepayan. Could you please inform me what update are you
referring to, and give me some very vague sense when it might happen (within
weeks, months, or years)?

Many thanks
Ola

 Sort of. The default calculation of 'breaks' doesn't work, so

 histogram(~date, data=my.data)

 will currently fail (I will fix this in the next update). However,

 histogram(~date, data=my.data, breaks = 10)
 histogram(~date, data=my.data, breaks = fd)

 etc., should work. The help page for histogram is somewhat ambiguous; it
 says:

  breaks:

  [...]

  Other valid values
  of 'breaks' are those of the 'breaks' argument in 'hist'.
  This allows specification of 'breaks' as an integer giving
  the number of bins (similar to 'nint'), as a character string
  denoting a method, and as a function.

 What is meant here is that valid values of breaks in 'hist.default'
 will work, not those for any other methods. In particular, breaks =
 months will not work.

   I've tried solutions like
 
   histogram(~date, data=my.data, breaks=months)
 
   but it doesn't seem to work.
 
   Any suggestions are welcome.

Re: [R] histogram() with Date class?

Sorry for spamming the list...


I noticed that if you first produce a date histogram with the hist()
function, like this:

basic.histogram - hist(my.data$date, breaks = months, plot = FALSE)

and then try to transfer the breaks from that histogram to a lattice
equivalent, like this:

histogram(~date, data=my.data, breaks=basic.histogram$breaks)

then I get a histogram that looks exactly like the original one, except the
bins are not placed correctly on the x-axis. In my case they were all
shifted almost a year to the right. Does anyone know why this happened and
if there is a way to deal with it?

Many thanks
Ola
