plot.BayesMallows: Plot Posterior Distributions

In BayesMallows: Bayesian Preference Learning with the Mallows Rank Model

Plot Posterior Distributions

Description

Plot posterior distributions of the parameters of the Mallows Rank model.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'BayesMallows'
plot(x, parameter = "alpha", items = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	An object of type BayesMallows, returned from compute_mallows().
parameter	Character string defining the parameter to plot. Available options are "alpha", "rho", "cluster_probs", "cluster_assignment", and "theta".
items	The items to study in the diagnostic plot for rho. Either a vector of item names, corresponding to x$data$items or a vector of indices. If NULL, five items are selected randomly. Only used when parameter = "rho".
...	Other arguments passed to plot (not used).

See Also

Other posterior quantities: assign_cluster(), compute_consensus(), compute_posterior_intervals(), get_acceptance_ratios(), heat_plot(), plot.SMCMallows(), plot_elbow(), plot_top_k(), predict_top_k(), print.BayesMallows()

Examples

model_fit <- compute_mallows(setup_rank_data(potato_visual))
burnin(model_fit) <- 1000

# By default, the scale parameter "alpha" is plotted
plot(model_fit)
# We can also plot the latent rankings "rho"
plot(model_fit, parameter = "rho")
# By default, a random subset of 5 items are plotted
# Specify which items to plot in the items argument.
plot(model_fit, parameter = "rho",
     items = c(2, 4, 6, 9, 10, 20))
# When the ranking matrix has column names, we can also
# specify these in the items argument.
# In this case, we have the following names:
colnames(potato_visual)
# We can therefore get the same plot with the following call:
plot(model_fit, parameter = "rho",
     items = c("P2", "P4", "P6", "P9", "P10", "P20"))

## Not run: 
  # Plots of mixture parameters:
  model_fit <- compute_mallows(
    setup_rank_data(sushi_rankings),
    model_options = set_model_options(n_clusters = 5))
  burnin(model_fit) <- 1000
  # Posterior distributions of the cluster probabilities
  plot(model_fit, parameter = "cluster_probs")
  # Cluster assignment plot. Color shows the probability of belonging to each
  # cluster.
  plot(model_fit, parameter = "cluster_assignment")

## End(Not run)
