In CorrMixed: Estimate Correlations Between Repeatedly Measured Endpoints (E.g., Reliability) Based on Linear Mixed-Effects Models

Plot the within-subject correlations (reliabilities) obtained by using the mixed-effects modeling approch

Description

Plots the within-subject correlations (reliabilities) and 100(1-α)% Confidence Intervals based on the fitted mixed-effect models.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'WS.Corr.Mixed'
plot(x, xlab, ylab, ylim, main, All.Individual=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x	A fitted object of class WS.Corr.Mixed
xlab	The label of the X-axis.
ylab	The label of the Y-axis.
ylim	The min, max values of the Y-axis.
main	The main title of the plot.
All.Individual	Logical. Should correlation functions be provided that show the correlations between all indidual measurement moments R(t_{i},t_{k})? Argument is only used if Model 2 was fitted. Default All.Individual=FALSE.
...	Other arguments to be passed to the plot function.

Examples

# open data
data(Example.Data)

# Make covariates used in mixed model
Example.Data$Time2 <- Example.Data$Time**2
Example.Data$Time3 <- Example.Data$Time**3
Example.Data$Time3_log <- (Example.Data$Time**3) * (log(Example.Data$Time))

# model 1: random intercept model
Model1 <- WS.Corr.Mixed(
Fixed.Part=Outcome ~ Time2 + Time3 + Time3_log + as.factor(Cycle) 
+ as.factor(Condition), Random.Part = ~ 1|Id, 
Dataset=Example.Data, Model=1, Id="Id", Number.Bootstrap = 50, 
Seed = 12345)

  # plot the results
plot(Model1)

## Not run: time-consuming code parts
# model 2: random intercept + Gaussian serial corr
Model2 <- WS.Corr.Mixed(
Fixed.Part=Outcome ~ Time2 + Time3 + Time3_log + as.factor(Cycle) 
+ as.factor(Condition), Random.Part = ~ 1|Id, 
Correlation=corGaus(form= ~ Time, nugget = TRUE),
Dataset=Example.Data, Model=2, Id="Id", Seed = 12345)

  # plot the results
    # estimated corrs as a function of time lag (default plot)
plot(Model2)
    # estimated corrs for all pairs of time points
plot(Model2, All.Individual = T)

# model 3
Model3 <- WS.Corr.Mixed(
  Fixed.Part=Outcome ~ Time2 + Time3 + Time3_log + as.factor(Cycle) 
  + as.factor(Condition), Random.Part = ~ 1 + Time|Id, 
  Correlation=corGaus(form= ~ Time, nugget = TRUE),
  Dataset=Example.Data, Model=3, Id="Id", Seed = 12345)

  # plot the results
    # estimated corrs for all pairs of time points
plot(Model3)
    # estimated corrs as a function of time lag
