plot: Default meta4diag plotting.

In meta4diag: Meta-Analysis for Diagnostic Test Studies

Description

Takes a meta4diag object produced by meta4diag() and plot the posterior marginals (possibly with underlying priors) for hyperparameters and fixed effects.

Usage

  ## S3 method for class 'meta4diag'
plot(x, var.type="var1", add=FALSE, overlay.prior = TRUE, 
      save = FALSE, width=5, height=5, ...)

Arguments

x	A meta4diag object.
var.type	Variable type that is of interest. Options are "var1", "var2", "rho" and names for fixed effects, which can be found after calling summary() function.
add	If add is TRUE, the plots are added to an existing plot, otherwise a new plot is created.
overlay.prior	Boolean to indicate whether the prior will be plotted overlay or not only for hyperparameters.
save	If save is TRUE, the plots are saved (pdf format) automatically in the working directory. save could also be a file name, i.e. save="plot1.eps", a file with name plot1 and eps format will be saved in the working directory.
width	The width when used for saving the plot, unit of inches is used.
height	The height when used for saving the plot, unit of inches is used.
...	Arguments to be passed to methods, such as graphical parameters (see par) such as "main", "sub", "xlab", "ylab".

Details

Posterior marginal distribution possibly with underlying prior distribution is plotted.

Value

Besides plotting, the function returns an invisible NULL.
