Modal regions
}
\description{
Evaluate the modal regions for a data set. Only the version for
circular data is implemented.
}
\usage{
modal.region(x, ...)
\method{modal.region}{default}(x, ...)
\method{modal.region}{circular}(x, z=NULL, q=0.95, bw, adjust = 1,
type = c("K", "L"), kernel = c("vonmises", "wrappednormal"),
na.rm = FALSE, step=0.01, eps.lower=10^(-4), eps.upper=10^(-4), ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{numeric or an object of class \code{\link{circular}}.}
\item{z}{numeric or object of class \code{\link{circular}}. The grid
were the kernel density estimate will be evaluated. If \code{NULL}
equally spaced points in the interval [0,2*pi) with step \code{step}.}
\item{q}{numeric in the interval [0,1]. The quantile of the modal
region.}
\item{bw}{the smoothing bandwidth to be used. When the \code{kernel}
is \code{vonmises} the bandwidth is equal to the concentration
parameter.}
\item{adjust}{the bandwidth used is actually \code{adjust*bw}. This
makes it easy to specify values like ``half the default bandwidth''.}
\item{type}{Not Yet Used.}
\item{kernel}{a character string giving the smoothing kernel to be
used. This must be one of \code{"vonmises"} or
\code{"wrappednormal"}, that are kernels of \code{type} \code{"K"}.}
\item{na.rm}{logical; if \code{TRUE}, missing values are removed from
\code{x}. If \code{FALSE} any missing values cause an error.}
\item{step}{numeric. Used in the construction of the regular grid \code{z}.}
\item{eps.lower,eps.upper}{the cut point in the density is searched in
the interval [min(density)*(1+eps.lower),max(density)*(1-eps.upper)].}
\item{\dots}{further arguments passed to the next methods.}
}
\details{
Only the version for circular data is actually implemented.
}
\value{
A list of class \code{modal.region.circular} with the following elements
\item{zeros}{extremes of modal regions, possible as a matrix}
\item{areas}{a list with two components: \code{tot} with the total
(area under the density) probability, which should approximately equal
to \code{q} and \code{areas} with the probability of each modal region.}
\item{density}{the object from function \code{density.circular}.}
\item{q}{the modal region order as in input.}
\item{level}{the cut point at the density scale.}
