Do a boxplot among subtypes

Description

A stripchart (jitter plot) of a biomarker and some categorical subtype is superimposed on top of the boxplot

Usage

doBoxplotAmongSubtypes(
  input.d,
  data.description,
  biomarker.var.name,
  biomarker.name,
  subtype.var.name,
  subtype.name,
  pch = 4,
  jitter = 0.1,
  digits = 2,
  ...
)

Arguments

input.d	input data.frame
data.description	boxplot title description
biomarker.var.name	biomarker variable name in input.d to graph on
biomarker.name	boxplot y-axis label
subtype.var.name	subtype variable name in input.d to graph on
subtype.name	boxplot x-axis label
pch	stripchart plot style
jitter	amount of jitter in stripchart
digits	number of digits to round to
...	additional arguments to boxplot

Value

a boxplot of biomarker values across different subtypes

Note

Expects subtype variable to be a factor. Also expects biomarker and subtype variable missing values to be NA
