plot.net_comparison: Plot a network comparison

In Nestimate: Network Estimation, Bootstrap, and Higher-Order Analysis

Plot a network comparison

Description

Visualises a net_comparison object. Currently supports the edge-weight scatterplot (default), with the diagonal reference (perfect agreement) and the OLS regression line annotated by Pearson, Spearman, and Kendall correlations.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'net_comparison'
plot(
  x,
  type = c("scatter", "heatmap", "diff_hist", "weight_dist", "all"),
  combined = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	A net_comparison object from compare_model().
type	Character. One of "scatter" (default - edge-weight scatter with OLS fit and correlation overlay), "heatmap" (n by n grid of x - y differences using the diverging palette), "diff_hist" (histogram of |x - y| absolute differences with rug + density), "weight_dist" (overlaid distributions of |x| and |y| edge weights), or "all" (2 by 2 grid of all four panels; requires the gridExtra package).
combined	When type = "all" and combined = TRUE (default), the four panels are stitched into a 2x2 gtable. When FALSE, returns a named list of the four ggplots so each can be printed, saved, or re-laid-out independently. Ignored for other type values.
...	Ignored.

Value

A ggplot object; for type = "all" with combined = TRUE a gtable arranged 2 by 2; for type = "all" with combined = FALSE a named list of four ggplots.
