Produces a segregation plot.
Usage
segplot(
data,
group,
unit,
weight,
order = "segregation",
secondary_plot = NULL,
reference_distribution = NULL,
bar_space = 0,
hline = NULL
)Arguments
- data
A data frame.
- group
A categorical variable or a vector of variables contained in
data. Defines the first dimension over which segregation is computed.- unit
A categorical variable or a vector of variables contained in
data. Defines the second dimension over which segregation is computed.- weight
Numeric. (Default
NULL)- order
A character, either "segregation", "entropy", "majority", or "majority_fixed". Affects the ordering of the units. The horizontal ordering of the groups can be changed by using a factor variable for
group. The difference between "majority" and "majority_fixed" is that the former will reorder the groups in such a way that the majority group actually comes first. If you want to control the ordering yourself, use "majority_fixed" and specify thegroupvariable as a factor variable.- secondary_plot
If
NULL(default), no secondary plot is drawn. If "segregation", a secondary plot is drawn that shows adjusted local segregation scores for each unit. If "cumulative", a secondary plot is drawn that shows the cumulative contribution of each unit toward the total H (calculated as the proportion of each unit times the adjusted local segregation of each unit)0.- reference_distribution
Specifies the reference distribution, given as a two-column data frame, to be plotted on the right. If order is
segregation, then this reference distribution is also used to compute the local segregation scores.- bar_space
Specifies space between single units.
- hline
Default
NULL. If a color is specified, horizontal lines will be drawn where groups are separated.
