The visual predictive checks using the additive quantile regression (aqrVPC)

Description

This function draws the visual predictive check (VPC) plot using additive quantile regression. The quantile regression methods are used to calculate quantiles.

Usage

aqrVPC(orig_data, 
       sim_data, 
       probs = c(0.1,0.5,0.9),
       conf.level = 0.95, 
       X_name = "TIME", 
       Y_name = "DV",
       MissingDV = NULL, 
       plot_caption = TRUE,
       DV_point = TRUE,
       plot_flag = TRUE,
       linesize = 0.7, 
       pointsize = 0.7, 
       captionsize = 10,
       qss_lambda = NULL, ...)

Arguments

orig_data	A data frame of original data with X and Y variable.
sim_data	A matrix of simulated data with only Y values collected.
probs	A numeric vector of probabilities.
conf.level	Confidence level of the interval.
X_name	Name of X variable in orig_data (usually "TIME" in pharmacokinetic data).
Y_name	Name of Y variable in orig_data (usually "DV" in pharmacokinetic data).
MissingDV	Name of missing indicator variable in orig_data, which have value 1 if missing, value 0 otherwise. (usually "MDV" in pharmacokinetic data).
plot_caption	Put caption with additional information if TRUE; omit if FALSE.
DV_point	Draw point (X, Y) in the plot if TRUE; omit if FALSE.
plot_flag	Draw plot if TRUE; generate data for drawing plot if FALSE.
linesize	Size of line in the plot.
pointsize	Size of point in the plot.
captionsize	Size of caption.
qss_lambda	Smoothing parameter in quantreg::qss function. Larger lambda produces a smoother fit.
...	Arguments to be passed to methods.

Value

aqrVPC plot or the values to draw aqrVPC plot.
