[R] package "reldist" version 1.5-5.1 : how to not just compare two years's wage distribution
Dear all users,
I read all R programs and texts in "Relative Distribution Methods"
website,
but I encounter two problems when I used it.
then I used "Google" to try to find any solutions about the two
problems,but I got no useful hints.
1、
In package "reldist"
y mean sample from comparison distribution
yo mean sample from reference distribution
but I would like to compare more than two years
( A total of fifteen years, from 1979, 1981, 1983, 1985..........to 2007)
how should I correct my programs in the below,
then I can compare fifteen years's wage distribution?
fig2b <- reldist(y=mu1981$b1,yo=mu1979$b1,ci=F,smooth=0.4,
yowgt=mu1979$weight2,ywgt=mu1981$weight2,
bar=TRUE,
yolabs=seq(-1,3,by=0.5),
ylim=c(0,2.5),cex=0.8,
ylab="Relative Density",
xlab="Proportion of the mu1979 Cohort")
title(main="Fig2(b)",cex=0.6)
2、
I downloaded package "reldist" version 1.5-5.1
and R version 2.9.0 (Windows)
I use the code provided in "Applying Relative Distribution Methods in
R",
to check the installation of the reldist package
In figure 8, the first three lines of programs is :> par(mfrow=c(1,2))
> rdhsrscr <- rdeciles(y=pwhsr, yo=pwscr,
+ ywgt=wgthsr,yowgt=wgtscr,binn=binn)
R gave me the error message:
error in seq.default(0,1,length=binn+1): object 'binn' not found
What is my example missing
Please help me figure out what additional diagnostics I can run to achieve
enlightenment ?
Thanks for your consideration !!
Best, Yichih
