plot.qualint: Plot the interval based graph from a "qualint" object
In QualInt: Test for Qualitative Interactions

Description Usage Arguments Details Author(s) References See Also Examples

Produce an interval based graph from an "qualint" object. Only available when test = "IBGA". Produce an error signal if test = "LRT".

1 2	## S3 method for class 'qualint' plot(x, ...)

`x`	a qualint object
`...`	additional coef arguments

Differect scales are used here for different types of responses. For continous one, the mean differece is plotted. For binary one, one from the risk difference, relative risk or odds ratio will be plotted, depending on user's choice. For survival responses, the hazard ratio is plotted.
