This function plots a simple chi-squared distribution or a chi-squared distribution with shaded areas that indicate at which chi-squared value a significant p-level is reached.
dist_chisq(chi2 = NULL, deg.f = NULL, p = NULL, xmax = NULL, geom.colors = NULL, geom.alpha = 0.7)
chi2 | Numeric, optional. If specified, a chi-squared distribution with |
---|---|
deg.f | Numeric. The degrees of freedom for the chi-squared distribution. Needs to be specified. |
p | Numeric, optional. If specified, a chi-squared distribution with |
xmax | Numeric, optional. Specifies the maximum x-axis-value. If not specified, the x-axis ranges to a value where a p-level of 0.00001 is reached. |
geom.colors | user defined color for geoms. See 'Details' in |
geom.alpha | Specifies the alpha-level of the shaded area. Default is 0.7, range between 0 to 1. |
# a simple chi-squared distribution # for 6 degrees of freedom dist_chisq(deg.f = 6)# a chi-squared distribution for 6 degrees of freedom, # and a shaded area starting at chi-squared value of ten. # With a df of 6, a chi-squared value of 12.59 would be "significant", # thus the shaded area from 10 to 12.58 is filled as "non-significant", # while the area starting from chi-squared value 12.59 is filled as # "significant" dist_chisq(chi2 = 10, deg.f = 6)# a chi-squared distribution for 6 degrees of freedom, # and a shaded area starting at that chi-squared value, which has # a p-level of about 0.125 (which equals a chi-squared value of about 10). # With a df of 6, a chi-squared value of 12.59 would be "significant", # thus the shaded area from 10 to 12.58 (p-level 0.125 to p-level 0.05) # is filled as "non-significant", while the area starting from chi-squared # value 12.59 (p-level < 0.05) is filled as "significant". dist_chisq(p = 0.125, deg.f = 6)
