tinyplot.parameters_model: Forest plot of model parameters using 'tinyplot'

In parameters: Processing of Model Parameters

Forest plot of model parameters using tinyplot

Description

Draws a forest plot (coefficients as points, confidence intervals as ranges) from a parameters_model object, using the lightweight base-graphics package tinyplot instead of ggplot2. The method is registered for tinyplot::tinyplot() and its shorthand alias tinyplot::plt().

Usage

## S3 method for class 'parameters_model'
tinyplot(
  x,
  flip = TRUE,
  zero = TRUE,
  sort = FALSE,
  size_title = NULL,
  size_axis_title = NULL,
  size_axis_text = NULL,
  size_point = NULL,
  size_line = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

x	An object returned by model_parameters().
flip	Logical, if TRUE (default), coefficients are plotted horizontally, with parameter names on the vertical axis.
zero	Logical, if TRUE (default), a dashed reference line is drawn at zero (resp. at one for exponentiated coefficients), and the estimate axis is extended to include that value.
sort	Logical, if TRUE, coefficients are sorted by size, largest on top. If FALSE (default), parameters appear in model order.
size_title, size_axis_title, size_axis_text	Numeric, set the size of plot title, axis title or axis labels. If not NULL, par() is called temporarily to set cex.main, cex.axis and cex.lab. The original values are restored afterwards. The default size is 1. Larger values increase text sizes and vice versa.
size_point, size_line	Size of points and lines in the plot. Default is 1. Larger values increase point/line sizes and vice versa. If argument cex is used, size_point will be ignored. Same for argument lwd, which overrides size_line.
...	Other arguments passed to tinyplot::tinyplot(), e.g. theme or palette. User-supplied xlim, ylim or ylab override the defaults set by this method. The type, data, ymin and ymax arguments are fixed by this method and will be ignored.

Details

Random effects parameters are dropped from the plot, and for models with a zero-inflation component, only the conditional (count) component is shown. A message is printed in these cases.

This method requires tinyplot version 0.7.0 or later, which supports extending axis limits to cover the reference value.

Value

The input x, invisibly. The function is called for its side effect of drawing a plot.

Examples

library(tinyplot)
data(mtcars)

model <- lm(mpg ~ wt + cyl + gear, data = mtcars)
result <- model_parameters(model)
plt(result)

# sorted by coefficient size, using a theme
plt(result, sort = TRUE, theme = "classic")

# exponentiated coefficients place the reference line at 1
model <- glm(am ~ wt + hp, data = mtcars, family = "binomial")
result <- model_parameters(model, exponentiate = TRUE)
plt(result)
