In RoBMA: Robust Bayesian Meta-Analyses

Add Lines With Posterior Predictive Distribution of Z-Statistics

Description

Adds lines to a plot of a fitted zcurve_RoBMA object. This function is typically used to overlay additional information or model fits on an existing plot.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'zcurve_RoBMA'
lines(
  x,
  conditional = FALSE,
  plot_type = "base",
  probs = c(0.025, 0.975),
  max_samples = 500,
  extrapolate = FALSE,
  plot_CI = TRUE,
  from = -6,
  to = 6,
  by = 0.05,
  length.out = NULL,
  col = if (extrapolate) "blue" else "black",
  ...
)

Arguments

x	A RoBMA object
conditional	whether conditional estimates should be plotted. Defaults to FALSE which plots the model-averaged estimates. Note that both "weightfunction" and "PET-PEESE" are always ignoring the other type of publication bias adjustment.
plot_type	whether to use a base plot "base" or ggplot2 "ggplot" for plotting. Defaults to "base".
probs	quantiles of the posterior samples to be displayed. Defaults to c(.025, .975)
max_samples	Maximum number of samples from the posterior distribution that will be used for estimating z-curve estimates.
extrapolate	Logical indicating whether to extrapolate values beyond the observed data range.
plot_CI	Should credible intervals be included in the plot? Defaults to TRUE.
from	Lower bound of the z-value range for plotting. Defaults to -6.
to	Upper bound of the z-value range for plotting. Defaults to 6.
by	Numeric value specifying the increment for the sequence.
length.out	Optional integer specifying the desired length of the output sequence.
col	Color of the plotted line.
...	list of additional graphical arguments to be passed to the plotting function. Supported arguments are lwd, lty, col, col.fill, xlab, ylab, main, xlim, ylim to adjust the line thickness, line type, line color, fill color, x-label, y-label, title, x-axis range, and y-axis range respectively.
