Yes, that is pretty much what I want. However, there was slightly a mistake. we need to use ''rate=rate[i]"" and "shape=shape[i]" because the default is ============================================== dgamma(x, shape, rate = 1, scale = 1/rate, log = FALSE) ============================================== if we use ============================================== dgamma(x, rate[i], shape[i]) ============================================== it actually takes shape=rate[i], shape[i]=rate ) Now I have another problem, I printed it out, the colorful does not seem to pretty, so i tried to use STRAIGHT lines for all of them ============================================== x<- 5 * ppoints(100) rate<- rep(c(2, 4), each = 3) shape<- rep(c(1, 3, 5), 2) gamden<- matrix(NA, nrow = 6, ncol = 100) for(i in 1:6) gamden[i, ]<- dgamma(x, rate=rate[i], shape=shape[i]) matplot(x, t(gamden), type = 'l', col = 1:6, ylab = 'density') ============================================== this does not plot with straight line. i am guessing it is not controlled by lty??????
It is, hence matplot(x, t(gamden), type = 'l', col = 1:6, ylab = 'density', lty=1) does the trick. Uwe Ligges
now i have gone back and used this to produce the graph and sorted out. ============================================== plot(sin,xlim=c(0,4),ylim=c(0,3),type='n',ylab="density",las=1) i=1 for(rate in c(2,4) ){ for(shape in c(1,3,5) ){ curve(dgamma(x,rate=rate,shape=shape),col=i,lwd=2,add=T) i=i+1 } } rate<- rep(c(2, 4), each = 3) shape<- rep(c(1, 3, 5), 2) parText<- function(names, pars) { p1<- paste("* '= ", pars[-length(pars)], ", '*", sep = "") p2<- paste("* '= ", pars[length(pars)], "'") p<- c(p1, p2) txt<- paste(names, p, collapse = "") parse(text = txt) } names<- c('lambda', 'theta') vals<- cbind(rate, shape) legnames<- c(parText(names, vals[1, ]), parText(names, vals[2, ]), parText(names, vals[3, ]), parText(names, vals[4, ]), parText(names, vals[5, ]), parText(names, vals[6, ])) legend(locator(1), legend = legnames, lwd=rep(c(2),6), col = 1:6) ============================================== [[elided Hotmail spam]] Thanks! casper
