Summarize Multiple Response Variables and Make Multipanel Scatter or Dot Plot

Description

Multiple left-hand formula variables along with right-hand side conditioning variables are reshaped into a "tall and thin" data frame if fun is not specified. The resulting raw data can be plotted with the plot method using user-specified panel functions for lattice graphics, typically to make a scatterplot or loess smooths, or both. The Hmisc panel.plsmo function is handy in this context. Instead, if fun is specified, this function takes individual response variables (which may be matrices, as in Surv objects) and creates one or more summary statistics that will be computed while the resulting data frame is being collapsed to one row per condition. The plot method in this case plots a multi-panel dot chart using the lattice dotplot function if panel is not specified to plot. There is an option to print selected statistics as text on the panels. summaryS pays special attention to Hmisc variable annotations: label, units. When panel is specified in addition to fun, a special x-y plot is made that assumes that the x-axis variable (typically time) is discrete. This is used for example to plot multiple quantile intervals as vertical lines next to the main point. A special panel function mvarclPanel is provided for this purpose.

The plotp method produces corresponding plotly graphics.

When fun is given and panel is omitted, and the result of fun is a vector of more than one statistic, the first statistic is taken as the main one. Any columns with names not in textonly will figure into the calculation of axis limits. Those in textonly will be printed right under the dot lines in the dot chart. Statistics with names in textplot will figure into limits, be plotted, and printed. pch.stats can be used to specify symbols for statistics after the first column. When fun computed three columns that are plotted, columns two and three are taken as confidence limits for which horizontal "error bars" are drawn. Two levels with different thicknesses are drawn if there are four plotted summary statistics beyond the first.

mbarclPanel is used to draw multiple vertical lines around the main points, such as a series of quantile intervals stratified by x and paneling variables. If mbarclPanel finds a column of an arument yother that is named "se", and if there are exactly two levels to a superpositioning variable, the half-height of the approximate 0.95 confidence interval for the difference between two point estimates is shown, positioned at the midpoint of the two point estimates at an x value. This assume normality of point estimates, and the standard error of the difference is the square root of the sum of squares of the two standard errors. By positioning the intervals in this fashion, a failure of the two point estimates to touch the half-confidence interval is consistent with rejecting the null hypothesis of no difference at the 0.05 level.

mbarclpl is the sfun function corresponding to mbarclPanel for plotp, and medvpl is the sfun replacement for medvPanel.

medvPanel takes raw data and plots median y vs. x, along with confidence intervals and half-interval for the difference in medians as with mbarclPanel. Quantile intervals are optional. Very transparent vertical violin plots are added by default. Unlike panel.violin, only half of the violin is plotted, and when there are two superpose groups they are side-by-side in different colors.

For plotp, the function corresponding to medvPanel is medvpl, which draws back-to-back spike histograms, optional Gini mean difference, optional SD, quantiles (thin line version of box plot with 0.05 0.25 0.5 0.75 0.95 quantiles), and half-width confidence interval for differences in medians. For quantiles, the Harrell-Davis estimator is used.

Arguments

formula	a formula with possibly multiple left and right-side variables separated by +. Analysis (response) variables are on the left and are typically numeric. For plot, formula is optional and overrides the default formula inferred for the reshaped data frame.
fun	an optional summarization function, e.g., smean.sd
data	optional input data frame. For plotp is the object produced by summaryS.
subset	optional subsetting criteria
na.action	function for dealing with NAs when constructing the model data frame
continuous	minimum number of unique values for a numeric variable to have to be considered continuous
...	ignored for summaryS and mbarclPanel, passed to strip and panel for plot. Passed to the density function by medvPanel. For plotp, are passed to plotlyM and sfun. For mbarclpl, passed to plotlyM.
x	an object created by summaryS. For mbarclPanel is an x-axis argument provided by lattice
groups	a character string or factor specifying that one of the conditioning variables is used for superpositioning and not paneling
panel	optional lattice panel function
paneldoesgroups	set to TRUE if, like panel.plsmo, the paneling function internally handles superpositioning for groups
datadensity	set to TRUE to add rug plots etc. using scat1d
ylab	optional y-axis label
funlabel	optional axis label for when fun is given
textonly	names of statistics to print and not plot. By default, any statistic named "n" is only printed.
textplot	names of statistics to print and plot
digits	used if any statistics are printed as text (including plotly hovertext), to specify the number of significant digits to render
custom	a function that customizes formatting of statistics that are printed as text. This is useful for generating plotmath notation. See the example in the tests directory.

ylim	optional y-axis limits
cex.strip	size of strip labels
cex.values	size of statistics printed as text
pch.stats	symbols to use for statistics (not included the one one in columne one) that are plotted. This is a named vectors, with names exactly matching those created by fun. When a column does not have an entry in pch.stats, no point is drawn for that column.
key	lattice key specification
outerlabels	set to FALSE to not pass two-way charts through useOuterStrips
autoarrange	set to FALSE to prevent plot from trying to optimize which conditioning variable is vertical
scat1d.opts	a list of options to specify to scat1d
