R: Plotting for qaptest Objects

plot.qaptest {sna} | R Documentation

## Plotting for qaptest Objects

### Description

Plots the Distribution of a QAP Test Statistic.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'qaptest'
    plot(x, mode="density", ...)

### Arguments

`x` | A `qaptest` object
`mode` | “density” for kernel density estimation, “hist” for histogram
`...` | Additional arguments to `plot`

### Details

In addition to the quantiles associated with a QAP test, it is often useful to examine the form of the distribution of the test statistic. `plot.qaptest` facilitates this.

### Value

None

### Examples

    #Generate three graphs
    g<-array(dim=c(3,10,10))
    g[1,,]<-rgraph(10)
    g[2,,]<-rgraph(10,tprob=g[1,,]*0.8)
    g[3,,]<-1; g[3,1,2]<-0              #This is nearly a clique

    #Perform qap tests of graph correlation
    q.12<-qaptest(g,gcor,g1=1,g2=2)
    q.13<-qaptest(g,gcor,g1=1,g2=3)

    #Examine the results
