plotpval: Plot the -log10 of pvalues

In ibdreg: Regression Methods for IBD Linkage with Covariates

Plot the -log10 of pvalues

Description

Plot lines connecting the the -log10 of pvalues for a series of tests

Usage

plotpval(pos, pmat, lty=1, lwd=1, col=1, title="", legend, 
         xlab="Position(cM)", ylab="-log10(pvalue)")

Arguments

pos	an index for the series of tests, usually assuming adjacent tests are correlated.
pmat	matrix of p-values, each column represents a different test, rows correspond to the pos[ition] index
lty	line type, see par()
lwd	line width, see par()
col	line color, see par()
title	title for the top-center of the plot
legend	vector of text strings explaning the tests in each column of pmat
xlab	x axis label
ylab	y axis label

Details

The default height for the y-axis is 3, which corresponds to a p-value of 1e-3. If any p-value is smaller, the height is -log10 of the smallest p-value in pmat.

Value

nothing is returned

Side Effects

none

Examples

plotpval(pos=1:10, pmat=cbind(runif(10)/5, runif(10)/10), 
         lty=c(1,2), col=c(1,2), legend=c("runif/5", "runif/10"))
