Make 4D static space-color plots from simulation output

Usage

make_4d_static(
  output,
  x,
  y,
  z,
  lims,
  kde_fun = "ks",
  n = 50,
  h,
  adjust = 1,
  Umax = 5
)

make_4d_single(
  output,
  x,
  y,
  z,
  lims,
  kde_fun = "ks",
  n = 50,
  h,
  adjust = 1,
  Umax = 5
)

Arguments

output

A matrix of simulation output.

x, y, z

The names of the target variables.

lims

The limits of the range for the density estimator as c(xl, xu) for 2D landscapes, c(xl, xu, yl, yu) for 3D landscapes, c(xl, xu, yl, yu, zl, zu) for 4D landscapes. If missing, the range of the data extended by 10% for both sides will be used. For landscapes based on multiple simulations, the largest range of all simulations (which means the lowest lower limit and the highest upper limit) will be used by default.

kde_fun

Which kernel estimator to use? Choices: "ks" ks::kde() (default; faster and using less memory); "base" base::density() (only for 2D landscapes); "MASS" MASS::kde2d() (only for 3D landscapes).

n

The number of equally spaced points in each axis, at which the density is to be estimated.

h

A number, or possibly a vector for 3D and 4D landscapes, specifying the smoothing bandwidth to be used. If missing, the default value of the kernel estimator will be used (but bw = "SJ" for base::density()). Note that the definition of bandwidth might be different for different kernel estimators. For landscapes based on multiple simulations, the largest h of all simulations will be used by default.

adjust

The multiplier to the bandwidth. The bandwidth used is actually adjust * h. This makes it easy to specify values like "half the default" bandwidth.

Umax

The maximum displayed value of potential.

Value

A 4d_static_landscape object that describes the landscape of the system, including the smoothed distribution and the landscape plot.
