## Plot Cross-Validation Results

### Description

This function produces ten plots with the results produced by the cross-validation function `xvalid`.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'xvalid':
    plot(x, coords, borders = NULL, ask = TRUE,
                error = TRUE, std.error = TRUE, data.predicted = TRUE,
                pp = TRUE, map = TRUE, histogram = TRUE,
                error.predicted = TRUE, error.data = TRUE, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | an object of the class `"xvalid"`, typically an output from the function `xvalid`.
`coords` | an n x 2 object containing coordinates of the (cross-)validation locations.
`borders` | optional. Takes a two column matrix or data-frame with coordinates of the borders. If provided the borders are included in the errors maps.
`ask` | logical. Defines whether or not the user is prompted before each plot is produced.
`error` | logical. Defines whether the plots for the errors (error = data - predicted) will be produced.
`std.error` | logical. Defines whether the plots for the standardised errors will be produced.
`data.predicted` | logical defining whether a plot of data versus predicted should be displayed. Defaults to `TRUE`.
`pp` | logical defining whether a pp plot should be displayed. Defaults to `TRUE`.
`map` | logical defining whether a map of the errors should be displayed. Defaults to `TRUE`.
`histogram` | logical defining whether a histogram of the errors should be displayed. Defaults to `TRUE`.
`error.predicted` | logical defining whether a plot of errors versus predicted should be displayed. Defaults to `TRUE`.
`error.data` | logical defining whether a plot of errors versus data should be displayed. Defaults to `TRUE`.
`...` | other arguments to be passed to the function `plot`.

### Details

The number of plots to be produced will depend on the input options. If the graphics device is set to just one plot (something equivalent to `par(mfcol=c(1,1))`) after each graphic being displayed the user will be prompt to press `<return>` to see the next graphic.

Alternativaly the user can set the graphical parameter to have several plots in one page. With default options for the arguments the maximum number of plots (10) is produced and setting `par(mfcol=c(5,2))`) will display them in the same page.

The “errors” for the plots are defined as

error = data - predicted

and the plots uses the color blue to indicate positive errors and red to indicate negative erros.

### Value

No value returned. Plots are produced on the current graphics device.

### Examples

    wls <- variofit(variog(s100, max.dist = 1), ini = c(.5, .5), fix.n = TRUE)
    xvl <- xvalid(s100, model = wls)
    #
    op <- par(no.readonly = TRUE)
    par(mfcol = c(3,2))
    par(mar = c(3,3,0,1))
    par(mgp = c(2,1,0))
    plot(xvl, error = FALSE, ask = FALSE)
    plot(xvl, std.err = FALSE, ask = FALSE)
    par(op)
