Creating a cumulative step graph in R

Question

Say I have this example data frame

set.seed(12345)
n1 <- 3
n2 <- 10
n3 <- 60

times <- seq(0, 100, 0.5)

individual <- c(rep(1, n1), 
                 


        

Answer 1

There is also the stepfun function in the stats package. Using that, you could use the plot method for that object class:

sdf <- split(df, individual)

plot(1, 1, type = "n", xlim = c(0, max(events)), ylim = c(0, max(table(individual))),
  ylab = "step", xlab = "time")

sfun <- lapply(sdf, function(x){
    sf <- stepfun(sort(x$events), seq_len(nrow(x) + 1) - 1)
    plot(sf, add = TRUE, col = unique(x$individual), do.points = FALSE)
})
