Hi,
I want to plot a binomial propability distribution.
I know how to generate the data;
x <- seq(from=0, to=14, by=1)
y <- dbinom(x, 14, 0.7, log = FALSE)
but what I don't know is how to plot this within a histogram like plot.
Because the histogram function only accepts one variable.
Is there a way to get the look of "hist()" with two variables?
I tried:
plot(x,y, type="h")
but the bars are very thin -is there a way to define the width?
You could use barplot():
barplot(y,names=x)
You could also do it with plot.histogram, but it's trickier, because
it's designed for continuous data. For example,
dat <- hist(x, plot=FALSE, breaks=c(-1,x)+0.5)
dat$density <- y
plot(dat, freq=FALSE)
