wrap.line: Line plots

In michaelkardas/behavioralwrappers: Wrappers and other functions for the behavioral sciences

Description

Creates line plots for numerical dependent variables, adds error bars, and prints descriptive statistics in a summary table. The function creates plots for up to 3 factors total, including 1 within-subjects factor (corresponding to the path of each line) and 0-2 between-subjects factors. The function delegates the primary computations to ggplot. Error bars are ±1 SE.

Usage

wrap.line(
  dv1,
  iv1 = NULL,
  iv2 = NULL,
  reposition = NULL,
  rename1 = NULL,
  rename2 = NULL,
  rename3 = NULL,
  reorder1 = NULL,
  reorder2 = NULL,
  reorder3 = NULL,
  ylim = NULL,
  ymajor = NULL,
  ylab = NULL,
  xlab = NULL,
  title = NULL,
  size.axis.text.y = 12,
  size.axis.text.x = 16,
  size.title = 24,
  size.panel.title = 12,
  size.legend.text = 14
)

Arguments

dv1	Multiple column vectors containing the within-subjects dependent variables
iv1, iv2	Column vectors containing the independent variables
reposition	Numeric vector to rearrange columns in the summary table and thus reposition factors within the plot itself. For example, reposition = c(1, 3, 2) reverses the order of the second and third columns in the summary table and repositions the corresponding factors within the plot. The length of the reposition vector must equal the total number of within-subjects and between-subjects factors.
rename1, rename2, rename3	Character vectors to rename the factor levels in the summary table and thus rename factor levels within the plot itself. For example, rename1 = c("Close Friend", "Distant Stranger") renames the levels in the first column of the summary table and renames the corresponding factor levels within the plot. (Note that the function applies the reposition argument to the summary table before applying the rename arguments.)
reorder1, reorder2, reorder3	Character vectors to reorder the factor levels in the summary table and thus reorder factor levels within the plot itself. For example, reorder1 = c("Stranger", "Friend") reorders the levels in the first column of the summary table and reorders the corresponding factor levels within the plot. (Note that the function applies the reposition and rename arguments to the summary table before applying the reorder arguments.)
ylim	Numeric vector containing lower and upper y-axis limits
ymajor	Numeric argument representing spacing of y-axis gridlines
ylab	String containing the y-axis label
xlab	String containing the x-axis label
title	String containing the plot title
size.axis.text.y, size.axis.text.x, size.title, size.panel.title, size.legend.text	Numeric arguments containing font sizes

Examples

## Line plot with 1 within-subjects factor
wrap.line(dv1 = bdata[c(4,6)])

## Line plot with 1 within-subjects factor & 2 between-subjects factors
wrap.line(dv1 = bdata[c(4,6)], iv1 = bdata$IV1, iv2 = bdata$IV3)
