Plots a given quantile of a variable calculated by group as an ECDF plot with points sized by the numbers of items per group. In the context of this package this function is intended to be used with the BMD as the variable and with groups defined by the user from functional annotation.

Usage

ecdfquantileplot(variable, by, quantile.prob = 0.5, title)

Arguments

variable

A numeric vector corresponding to the variable on which we want to calculate the given quantile by group. In the context of the package this variable may be a BMD.

by

A factor of the same length defining the groups. In the context of this package this factor may code for groups defined by the user from functional annotation.

quantile.prob

The probability (in ]0, 1[) defining the quantile to calculate on each group.

title

An optional title for the plot.

Details

The given quantile is calculated for each group (e.g.from all items of a metabolic pathway) using function quantile and plotted as an ECDF plot. In this ECDF plot of quantiles each point is sized according to the number of items in the corresponding group (e.g. metabolic pathway). We recommend the use of the new function sensitivityplot that may be more convenient and that offers more options.

Value

a ggplot object.
