Bivariate Boxplot
PlotBag()
creates a twodimensional boxplot called "bagplot" based on two numerical variables x and y. plot.PlotBag()
is the plotting routine for a bagplot object. compute.PlotBag()
contains the computation logic the object.

A bagplot is a bivariate generalization of the well known
boxplot. It has been proposed by Rousseeuw, Ruts, and Tukey.
In the bivariate case the box of the boxplot changes to a
convex polygon, the bag of bagplot. In the bag are 50 percent
of all points. The fence separates points within the fence from
points outside. It is computed by increasing the
the bag. The loop is defined as the convex hull containing
all points inside the fence.
If all points are on a straight line you get a classical
boxplot.
PlotBag()
plots bagplots that are very similar
to the one described in Rousseeuw et al.
Remarks:
The two dimensional median is approximated.
For large data sets the error will be very small.
On the other hand it is not very wise to make a (graphical)
summary of e.g. 10 bivariate data points.
In case you want to plot multiple (overlapping) bagplots,
you may want plots that are semi-transparent. For this
you can use the transparency
flag.
If transparency==TRUE
the alpha layer is set to '99' (hex).
This causes the bagplots to appear semi-transparent,
but ONLY if the output device is PDF and opened using:
pdf(file="filename.pdf", version="1.4")
.
For this reason, the default is transparency==FALSE
.
This feature as well as the arguments
to specify different colors has been proposed by Wouter Meuleman.
compute.bagplot
returns an object of class
bagplot
that could be plotted by
plot.bagplot()
.
An object of the bagplot class is a list with the following
elements: center
is a two dimensional vector with
the coordinates of the center. hull.center
is a
two column matrix, the rows are the coordinates of the
corners of the center region. hull.bag
and
hull.loop
contain the coordinates of the hull of the bag
and the hull of the loop. pxy.bag
shows you the
coordinates of the points of the bag. pxy.outer
is
the two column matrix of the points that are within the
fence. pxy.outlier
represent the outliers. The vector
hdepths
shows the depths of data points. is.one.dim
is TRUE
if the data set is (nearly) one dimensional.
The dimensionality is decided by analysing the result of prcomp
which is stored in the element prdata
. xy
shows you
the data that are used for the bagplot. In the case of very large
data sets subsets of the data are used for constructing the
bagplot. A data set is very large if there are more data points
than approx.limit
. xydata
are the input data structured
in a two column matrix.
