Hallo all I realise this might be a "too much to ask" question, but can I improve the Lattice plot produced by the following code? The type of figure I would like to produce in each segment of the plot appears below the code. library(reserving) # http://toolkit.pbwiki.com/RToolkit <http://toolkit.pbwiki.com/RToolkit> data(GenIns) GenInsInc <- incrementalTriangle(GenIns) basicCL <- ChainLadder(GenIns, quarterly=FALSE, usetail=FALSE, YOA=c(1997:2006)) # lattice plot by underwriting years plot(basicCL, byYOA=TRUE) Instead of the ordinary "confidence bands" produced by the re lines, I would like to display a type of "funnel", as illustrated in the code below: funnelGraph <- function(x, ylim, bands, ...) { #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # Function to plot a funnel graph # Requires package: RColorBrewer # # Created by Nigel De Silva, 3 June 2006 # [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> #---------------------------------------------------------------------- require(RColorBrewer) # Determine confidence levels for graph if(missing(bands)) bands <- 40 ci <- seq(from=0.50, to=0.995, length=bands) q <- c(0.5-ci/2, 0.5+ci/2) # Calculate points to plot central <- apply(x, 2, mean) areas <- apply(x, 2, quantile, q) time <- 1:dim(x)[2] # Set up plot if(missing(ylim)) ylim = range(pretty(range(areas))) plot(time, central, ylim=ylim, type="n", ...) # Draw areas mypalette <- c(rev(brewer.pal(9, "Blues")), "White") #9 is max no of colours mypalette <- colorRampPalette(mypalette, space="Lab", bias=0.25) mypalette <- mypalette(bands) for(i in rev(1:length(ci))){ x <- c(time, rev(time)) y <- c(areas[i, ], rev(areas[i + length(ci), ])) polygon(x, y, col=mypalette[i], border=NA) } # Draw mean path lines(time, central, lwd=2, col=2) return(time) } library(MASS) assets <- mvrnorm(10000, rep(0.05, 5), diag(rep(0.08, 5))) assets <- exp(cbind(0, assets)) assets <- t(apply(assets, 1, cumprod)) funnelGraph(assets, xlab="Year", main="Projected Assets") Thanks for any help!
