plot.netSEMp1: Plotting of netSEM diagram

In netSEM: Network Structural Equation Modeling

Plotting of netSEM diagram

Description

Plot netSEMp1 result plot.netSEMp1 plots a network structural equation network model diagram, fitted under principle 1, based on best functional form for each selected pairwise variable.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'netSEMp1'
plot(
  x,
  cutoff = NULL,
  latent = NULL,
  plot.save = FALSE,
  title = "netSEM_markovian",
  path = NULL,
  filename = NULL,
  style = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	An object of class "netSEMp1", the returned list from netSEMp1. Plotting uses the first element of this list (table) in which the first column of it is endogenous variable, second column is variable and other columns are corresponding best functional form, r-squared, adj-r-squared, P-value1, P-value2 and P-value3.
cutoff	A threshold value for adjusted R-squared. The maximum number of cutoff is 3.
latent	The latent variable that corresponds to the mechanic variable. The default is NULL.
plot.save	True/False, it saves the network diagram plot as a png file. The default is false.
title	The title. The default is 'netSEMp1.'
path	The pathways to highlight with a certain color. The default is NULL.
filename	A character string naming a file to save as a png file.
style	True/False, it plots the first interval in the network diagram with dotted weak line. The default is True.
...	A S3 generic/method consistency.

Value

An html style plot of pairwise relationship pathway diagram between exogenous variables and an endogenous variable. Arrows show relationships between each variable with given statistical relations along the connection lines.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Load acrylic data set
data(acrylic)

# Build a netSEM model
ans <- netSEMp1(acrylic, "IrradTot", "YI")

# Plot the network model 
plot(ans, cutoff = c(0.3,0.6,0.8))

# Plot the network model without a cutoff
plot(ans)

plot(ans, cutoff = c(0.3,0.6,0.8), title = "Acrylic")

\donttest{
# Plot the network diagram with latent argument labels
plot(ans, cutoff = c(0.3, 0.6, 0.8), 
     latent = c('IAD1' = 'FundAbsEdge', 
                'IAD2' = 'UVStab', 
                'IAD2p' = 'UVStab', 
                'IAD3' = 'YelMet'))

# Drop relationships lower than minimum cutoff value
plot(ans, cutoff = c(0.3,0.6,0.8), style = FALSE)

# Change color of pathways
plot(ans, cutoff = c(0.3,0.6,0.8), 
     title = "Acrylic", path = c('red', 'IAD1->IAD2p'), 
     latent = c('IAD1' = 'FundAbsEdge'), style = FALSE)

# Save plot 
plot.netSEMp1(ans, acrylic, 
              cutoff = c(0.3, 0.6, 0.8), 
              plot.save = TRUE, 
              filename = 'acrylic-netSEMp1')
