Plot method for objects produced by the seqmeant function
This is the plot method for objects of class stslist.meant produced by the seqmeant function.
## S3 method for class 'stslist.meant' plot(x, cpal = NULL, ylab = NULL, yaxis = TRUE, xaxis = TRUE, cex.axis = 1, ylim = NULL, cex.plot, ...)
x |
an object of class |
cpal |
alternative color palette to use for the states. If user specified, a vector of colors with number of elements equal to the number of states in the alphabet. By default, the ' |
ylab |
an optional label for the y axis. If set to |
yaxis |
controls whether the y axis is plotted. Default is |
xaxis |
if |
cex.axis |
Axis annotation magnification. See |
ylim |
an optional vector setting the limits for the y axis. If |
cex.plot |
Deprecated. Use |

further graphical parameters. For more details about the graphical parameter arguments, see |
This is the plot method for the output produced by the seqmeant function, i.e., objects of class stslist.meant. It produces a plot showing the mean times spent in each state of the alphabet.
When the "se" attribute of x is TRUE, i.e., when x contains also the standard errors of the mean times, error bars are automatically displayed on the plot. See the serr argument of seqmeant.
## Loading the mvad data set and creating a sequence object
data(mvad)
mvad.labels <- c("employment", "further education", "higher education",
"joblessness", "school", "training")
mvad.scodes <- c("EM","FE","HE","JL","SC","TR")
mvad.seq <- seqdef(mvad, 15:86, states=mvad.scodes, labels=mvad.labels)
## Computing the mean times
mvad.meant <- seqmeant(mvad.seq)
## Plotting
plot(mvad.meant, main="Mean durations in each state of the alphabet")
## Changing the y axis limits
plot(mvad.meant, main="Mean durations in each state of the alphabet",
ylim=c(0,40))
## Displaying error bars
mvad.meant.e <- seqmeant(mvad.seq, serr=TRUE)
plot(mvad.meant.e, main="Mean durations in each state of the alphabet",
ylim=c(0,40))Please choose more modern alternatives, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
