npde.binning

Internal functions used to produce prediction intervals

Description

Functions used by plot functions to define the boundaries of the bins on the X-axis

Usage

npde.binning(xvec, plot.opt, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

`xvec`	a vector of values for the X-axis of the plot
`plot.opt`	graphical options
`verbose`	boolean (defaults to FALSE). If TRUE, a table showing how the binning was performed

Details

These functions are normally not called by the end-user.

Value

a list with 2 elements, xgrp (the number of the bin associated with each element of xvec) and xcent (a named vector containing the mean of the elements of xvec contained in each bin; the name of the bin is the interval). If verbose is TRUE, a table showing the bins is shown, giving the interval of xvec associated with each bin, the mean value of xvec in each bin, and the number of observations
