whist function

Weighted Histograms

Plots or computes the histogram with observations with multiplicities/weights.

whist(
  x,
  w = 1,
  breaks = "Sturges",
  plot = TRUE,
  freq = NULL,
  xlim = NULL,
  ylim = NULL,
  xlab = "Data",
  ylab = NULL,
  main = NULL,
  add = FALSE,
  col = NULL,
  border = NULL,
  lwd = 1,
  ...
)

Arguments

• x: a vector of values for which the histogram is desired.
• w: a vector of multiplicities/weights for the values in x.
• breaks, plot, freq, xlim, ylim, xlab, ylab, main, add, col, border, lwd: These arguments have similar functionalities to their namesakes in function hist.
• ...: arguments passed on to function plot.

Details

Just like hist, whist can either plot the histogram or compute the values that define the histogram, by setting plot to TRUE

or FALSE.

The histogram can either be the one for frequencies or density, by setting freq to TRUE or FALSE.
