HRQoLplot: Spider plot of the dimensions of the Short Form-36 Health...

In idaejin/HRQoL: Health Related Quality of Life Analysis

Description

This function creates a spider plot with all the 8 dimensions of the SF-36 questionnaire indicating the HRQoL score of each observation.

Usage

HRQoLplot(data,legend)

Arguments

data	a data frame with each column relative to observations of each dimension. The columns of the data frame must be introduced in the following order: column -> Role Physical column -> Role Emotional column -> Physical Functioning column -> Vitality column -> Social Functioning column -> Body Pain column -> General Health column -> Mental Health
legend	logical parameter, if TRUE the legend with the name of the rows of the data will appear. FALSE has been taken by default.

Details

The HRQoLplot has a data frame object as input, and an optional legend logical input. The data frame must have observations of the HRQoL taken by the SF-36 and the columns of the data frame will refer to each domain of the SF-36, hence the data frame must have eight columns. Each axis of the plot refers to an especific HRQoL domain, so the order of the data frame columns must be as it is showed in the arguments section. The HRQoL score of each observation (row) of the data frame is drawn with a line of a different color in the plot.

set.seed(5)
# We insert the columns in the order that has been determined:
n <- c(4,3,20,20,8,9,20,13)
k=3
p=runif(8,0,1)
phi <- runif(8,1,3)
dat <- data.frame(
  RP=rBB(k,n[1],p[1],phi[1]),
  RE=rBB(k,n[2],p[2],phi[2]),

rownames(dat) <- c("ID1", "ID2", "ID3")
