decomp

Plot the prior, likelihood, and posterior on the same plot.

Description

This function takes any object of class Bolstad and plots the prior, likelihood and posterior on the same plot. The aim is to show the influence of the prior, and the likelihood on the posterior.

Usage

decomp(x, ...)

Arguments

`x`	an object of class `Bolstad`.
`...`	any other arguments to be passed to the `plot` function.

Note

Note that xlab, ylab, main, axes, xlim, ylim and type are all used in the function so specifying them is unlikely to have any effect.
