plot.MSLT.S: Plots survival function.

In Biograph: Explore Life Histories

Description

Plot method for object of class 'MSLT.S' using the ggplot2 package. It plots the multistate survival function by as estimated by MSLT.S

Usage

## S3 method for class 'MSLT.S'
plot(x, e0, order,colours,title,area,xmin,xmax,...)

Arguments

x	The multistate survival function. An object of class MSLT.S produced by the MSLT.S function. It is one of two components of the object produced by the MSLT.S function.
e0	Life expectancy at reference age (e.g. at birth)
order	Desired sequence of states in plot
colours	Colours
title	Title for multistate survival plot
area	Graph type: area (area=TRUE) or bar (area=FALSE)
xmin	Minimum value on x-axis
xmax	Maximum value on x-axis
...	Further arguments to plot

Value

The function plot.MSLT.S returns the multistate survival function (S) and the plot. It returns an object with the following components:

S	The multistate survival function (values used in the plot)
plot	The plot produced by the ggplot2 package.
