Hi, I draw a surface corresponding to bivariate density of independent variables (rho=0) using persp(). Then I add a contour line (i.e., circle in my case) at a particular density. Below is a minimal example of what I have so far.
# Bivariate density dnorm2d <- function(x, y, rho = 0) { xoy = (x^2 - 2 * rho * x * y + y^2)/(2 * (1 - rho^2)) density = exp(-xoy)/(2 * pi * sqrt(1 - rho^2)) density } # Variables x <- seq(from = -3, to = 3, length = 40) y <- seq(from = -3, to = 3, length = 40) z <- outer(X = x, Y = y, FUN = dnorm2d) # Perspective plot persp(x = x, y = y, z = z) -> res # Add contour phi <- seq(0, 2*pi, length=200) r <- 2 xr <- r * cos(phi) yr <- r * sin(phi) lines(trans3d(xr, yr, dnorm2d(xr, yr), res)) Unfortunately, it's difficult to customize perspective plot, so I try wireframe in lattice instead: library(lattice) g <- expand.grid(x=seq(from=-3, to=3, length=40), y=seq(from=-3, to=3, length=40)) g$z <- dnorm2d(g$x, g$y) wireframe(z~x*y, data=g) Could you give me some advice how to add lines (i.e., circle) on lattice graphics. Thanks for any suggestion.
