plot_curve: Plot ranked specification curve

In masurp/specr: Conducting and Visualizing Specification Curve Analyses

Plot ranked specification curve

Description

This function is deprecated because the new version of specr uses a new analytic framework. In this framework, you can plot a similar figure simply by using the generic plot() function and adding the argument type = "curve". This function plots the a ranked specification curve. Confidence intervals can be included. Significant results are highlighted (negative = red, positive = blue, grey = nonsignificant). This functions creates the upper panel in plot_specs().

Usage

plot_curve(
  df,
  var = .data$estimate,
  group = NULL,
  desc = FALSE,
  ci = TRUE,
  ribbon = FALSE,
  legend = FALSE,
  null = 0
)

Arguments

df	a data frame resulting from run_specs().
var	which variable should be evaluated? Defaults to estimate (the effect sizes computed by run_specs()).
group	Should the arrangement of the curve be grouped by a particular choice? Defaults to NULL, but can be any of the present choices (e.g., x, y, controls...)
desc	logical value indicating whether the curve should the arranged in a descending order. Defaults to FALSE.
ci	logical value indicating whether confidence intervals should be plotted.
ribbon	logical value indicating whether a ribbon instead should be plotted.
legend	logical value indicating whether the legend should be plotted Defaults to FALSE.
null	Indicate what value represents the null hypothesis (Defaults to zero)

Value

a ggplot object.

Examples

# load additional library
library(ggplot2) # for further customization of the plots

# Run specification curve analysis
results <- run_specs(df = example_data,
                     y = c("y1", "y2"),
                     x = c("x1", "x2"),
                     model = c("lm"),
                     controls = c("c1", "c2"),
                     subsets = list(group1 = unique(example_data$group1),
                                    group2 = unique(example_data$group2)))

# Plot simple specification curve
plot_curve(results)

# Ribbon instead of CIs and customize further
plot_curve(results, ci = FALSE, ribbon = TRUE) +
  geom_hline(yintercept = 0) +
  geom_hline(yintercept = median(results$estimate),
             linetype = "dashed") +
  theme_linedraw()
