Plots Between Group Associations

Description

Plots the between-group associations between an outcome and predictor variable.

Usage

betweenPlot(
  x,
  y,
  grouping,
  dataset,
  xlab = x,
  ylab = y,
  between_title = "Between-Group Association Plot",
  point_color = "gray40",
  line_color = "black",
  se = FALSE,
  full_range = FALSE,
  lty = 1,
  size = 2
)

Arguments

x	Predictor variable.
y	Outcome variable.
grouping	Grouping variable.
dataset	A dataset containing the predictor, outcome, and grouping variables.
xlab	Character vector specifying the horizontal axis label.
ylab	Character vector specifying the vertical axis label.
between_title	Character vector specifying the title for the between group plot.
point_color	Color for points.
line_color	Color for lines.
se	A logical value indicating whether confidence intervals should be displayed.
full_range	A logical value indicating whether the fit line should span the full range of the plot or just the data.
lty	Line type.
size	Width of fit line.

Value

Produces a plot of the between-group associations between an outcome and predictor variable.
