SVG development InfoField	The SVG code is valid.   This diagram was created with Inkscape.

This is the code used to generate the plot. It could have been done more efficiently, but this way is more self-explanatory.

SpacingEstimate<-function (x) {
A1<-1-exp(-2*x)
A2<-1-exp(-4*x)
Z<-(A1)*(A2-A1)*(1-A2)
return(log(Z))
}

Likelihood<-function (x) {
A1<-x*exp(-2*x)
A2<-x*exp(-4*x)
Z<-A1*A2
return(log(Z))
}

x<-seq(0,1,.01)

plot(x,SpacingEstimate(x),main="Comparison of Estimator Values", type="l", col="blue", xaxp=c(0,1,10), lwd=2, ylab="Estimator values")
points(x, Likelihood(x), col="dark green", type="l", lwd=2)

arrows(.4, -7, .26, -8.1)
arrows(.56, -7.45, .33, -8.09)

text (x=.463, y = -6.7, labels = "Maximum Spacing Estimate:",col="red")
