plot.mediation: Plot the 'mediation' object.

In twangMediation: Twang Causal Mediation Modeling via Weighting

Plot the mediation object.

Description

Plot the mediation object.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'mediation'
plot(x, subset = NULL, color = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x	weighted_mediation object
subset	Used to restrict which of the stop.methods will be used in the figure. For example subset = c(1,3) would indicate that the first and third stop.methods (in alphabetical order of those specified in the original call to the mediation function) should be included in the figure. If x$method = logistic or crossval, there is no need to subset as there is only one method used.
color	If color = FALSE, figures will be gray scale. Default: TRUE.
...	Additional arguments.

Value

Distribution plots of NIE1 (distribution of mediator for treatment sample weighted to match distribution of mediator under control for the population) and NIE0 (distribution of mediator for control sample weighted to match distribution of mediator under treatment for the population) for each mediator. For continuous mediators, distributions are plotted with density curves and for categorical (factor) mediators, distributions are plotted with barplots. .
