[R] [FORGED] Re: Quantile Density Contours

[Bernard Comcast]

That thought had crossed my mind so thanks for that clarification Bert. i think you are correct and so the plot I am looking at must be doing something different than I was thinking.

Thanks

I think this is something like a 2D CDF of the data that then leads to the 2D quantiles but I am not 100% sure. What I am basically looking for is the 2D curve that encloses say 95% of the data in a similar fashion to a 1D quantile where the quantile represents the value that x% of the data is below. I think what I am looking for is the 2D bivariate version of the 1D quantile plot (where the quantile value is plotted vs the % value).

My interpretation of these contours is that they enclose a certain % of the total data. I am using the bkde2D function in library KernSmooth which gives density values that can be plotted on a contour plot but I would like the curves that enclose a given % of the data, if that is possible
