plotTab

graphical comparison of the estimated distributions for the same continuous variable.

Description

Compares graphically the estimated distributions for the same categorical variable(s) using data coming from two different data sources.

Usage

plotTab(data.A, data.B, xlab.A, xlab.B=NULL, w.A=NULL, w.B=NULL)

Arguments

`data.A`	A dataframe or matrix containing the variable of interest `xlab.A` and eventual associated survey weights `w.A`.
`data.B`	A dataframe or matrix containing the variable of interest `xlab.B` and eventual associated survey weights `w.B`.
`xlab.A`	Character string providing the name(s) of one or more variables in `data.A` whose (joint) distribution should be represented graphically and compared with that estimated from `data.B`.
`xlab.B`	Character string providing the name(s) of one or more variables in `data.A` whose (joint) distribution should be represented graphically and compared with that estimated from `data.A`. If `xlab.B=NULL` (default) then it assumed `xlab.B=xlab.A`.
`w.A`	Character string providing the name of the optional weighting variable in `data.A` that, in case, should be used to estimate the distribution of `xlab.A`
`w.B`	Character string providing the name of the optional weighting variable in `data.B` that, in case, should be used to estimate the distribution of `xlab.B`

Details

This function compares graphically the (joint) distribution of the same variables but estimated from data coming from two different data sources. The graphical comparison is done using barcharts.

Value

The required graphical representation is drawn using the ggplot2 facilities.
