ParetoPlot

ParetoPlot[list]

creates a Pareto plot from the frequencies of the elements in list.

ParetoPlot[{{cat₁,freq₁},{cat₂,freq₂},…}]

creates a Pareto plot from categories cat_i with frequencies freq_i.

Details and Options

To use ParetoPlot, you first need to load the Statistical Plots Package using Needs["StatisticalPlots`"].
ParetoPlot combines a bar chart displaying percentages of categories in the data with a line plot showing cumulative percentages of the categories.
The categories are sorted in decreasing order of frequency.
ParetoPlot has the same options as Graphics, with the following additions and changes:

	Axes	True	whether to draw axes
	BarOrigin	Bottom	origin placement for bars
	BarSpacing	Automatic	fractional spacing between bars
	ChartElementFunction	Automatic	how to generate raw graphics for bars
	ChartElements	Automatic	graphics to use in each of the bars
	ChartLabels	Automatic	labels for bars
	ChartStyle	Automatic	style for bars
	ColorFunction	Automatic	how to color bars
	ColorFunctionScaling	True	whether to normalize arguments to ColorFunction
	LabelingFunction	Automatic	how to label bars
	PlotMarkers	Automatic	markers for points
	PlotStyle	Automatic	styles for the line

The options BarOrigin, BarSpacing, ChartElementFunction, ChartElements, ChartLabels, ChartStyle, ColorFunction, ColorFunctionScaling, and LabelingFunction are the same as those for BarChart.
The BarOrigin option applies to the entire plot, not just the bars.
