plot.SAF_summary: Produce plots of sequential and average PAF

In graphPAF: Estimating and Displaying Population Attributable Fractions

Produce plots of sequential and average PAF

Description

Produce plots of sequential and average PAF

Usage

## S3 method for class 'SAF_summary'
plot(
  x,
  number_rows = 3,
  max_PAF = 0.4,
  min_PAF = 0,
  point.size = 4,
  axis.text.size = 6,
  title.size = 6,
  axis.title.size = 6,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	An SAF_summary R object produced by running the average_paf function.
number_rows	integer How many rows of plots will be included on the associated figure.
max_PAF	upper limit of y axis on PAF plots (default = 0.4)
min_PAF	lower limit of y axis on PAF plots (default = 0)
point.size	size of points on each individual plot (default=4)
axis.text.size	size of axis labels on each plot (default=6)
title.size	size of title on each individual plot (default=6)
axis.title.size	size of titles on each plot (default=6)
...	Other global arguments inherited by that might be passed to the ggplot routine

Value

A ggplot2 plotting object illustrating average sequential PAF by position and average PAF by risk factor.
