| chart.Histogram {PerformanceAnalytics} | R Documentation |
Create a histogram of returns, with optional curve fits for density and normal. This is wrapper function for hist, see the help for that function for additional arguments you may wish to pass in.
chart.Histogram(R, rf = 0, breaks="FD", main = NULL, add.names = TRUE, xlab = "Returns", ylab = "Frequency", border.col = "white", add.density = TRUE, add.fit = TRUE, density.col = "black", fit.col = "darkgray", colorset = "gray", lwd = 2, xlim = NULL, ...)
R |
a vector, matrix, data frame, timeSeries or zoo object of asset returns |
rf |
risk free rate, in same period as your returns |
breaks |
how to calculate the breaks between the bars, see hist for details, default "FD" |
add.names |
TRUE/FALSE whether to add names from the source data to the graph |
add.density |
TRUE/FALSE whether to add the density plot to the graph |
add.fit |
TRUE/FALSE whether to add a fitted curve to the graph |
fit.col |
number of columns to fit the data over |
border.col |
colorset to use for the border |
density.col |
colorset to use for the density plot |
main |
set the chart title, same as in plot |
ylab |
set the y-axis label, same as in plot |
xlab |
set the x-axis label, same as in plot |
xlim |
set the x-axis limit, same as in plot |
lwd |
set the line width, same as in plot |
colorset |
color palette to use, set by default to rational choices |
... |
any other passthru parameters |
