plotsgpower: Plot power curves for Second-Generation p-Values

In weltybiostat/sgpv: Calculate Second-Generation p-Values and Associated Measures

Description

This function calculates power and type I error values from significance testing based on second-generation p-values as the inferential metric and plots the power curve to visualize the operating charateristics of the inferential procedure.

Usage

plotsgpower(
  null.lo,
  null.hi,
  std.err,
  alt = NA,
  x.lim = NA,
  interval.type,
  interval.level = 0.05,
  plot.option = 1,
  null.col = rgb(208, 216, 232, maxColorValue = 255),
  pow.col = c("cornflowerblue", "firebrick3", "green4"),
  pow.lty = c(1, 1, 1),
  title.lab = "",
  x.lab = "Parameter",
  y.lab = "Probability",
  legend.on = TRUE,
  null.pt = NA,
  acc = 100
)

Arguments

null.lo	A scalar representing the lower bound of the null interval hypothesis (indifference zone) upon which the second-generation p-value is based.
null.hi	A scalar representing the upper bound of the null interval hypothesis (indifference zone) upon which the second-generation p-value is based.
std.err	Standard error for the distribution of the estimator for the parameter of interest. Note that this is the standard deviation for the estimator, not the standard deviation parameter for the data itself. This will be a function of the sample size(s).
alt	Optional scalar or vector of alternative value(s) for the parameter of interest. Default is NA. If provided, a blue dotted line (or one at each point) will be plotted and the power will be printed.
x.lim	Optional numeric vector of length two giving the lower and upper bounds of the x-axis for the power curve. Default is NA, where the x-axis range will be optimized to fit the entirety of the power curve (which is dependent upon the width of the null zone and the standard error of the estimator).
interval.type	Class of interval estimate used for calculating the SGPV. Options are "confidence" for a (1-α)100% confidence interval and "likelihood" for a 1/k likelihood support interval (credible not yet supported).
interval.level	Level of interval estimate. If interval.type = "confidence" is used, the level is α. If interval.type = "likelihood" is used, the level is 1/k (not k).
plot.option	Used to specify the type of plot desired. If plot.option = 1, the classical power curve and its corresponding SGPV power curve are shown. If plot.option = 2, the three power curves provided by sgpower are shown. Default is plot.option = 1.
null.col	Coloring of shading for the null interval hypothesis (indifference zone) region. Default is Hawkes Blue: null.col = rgb(208, 216, 232, maxColorValue = 255).
pow.col	Vector of length three specifying the colors for the the three power curves given when plot.option = 2. The first color option corresponds to the Pr(SGPV = 0 | θ) line, the second color option corresponds to the Pr(0 < SGPV < 1 | θ) line, and the third color option corresponds to the Pr(SGPV = 1 | θ) line. Default is pow.col = c("cornflowerblue", "firebrick3", "green4").
pow.lty	Vector of length three specifying the line types (lty) for the three power curves given when plot.option = 2. The first line type option corresponds to the Pr(SGPV = 0 | θ) line, the second line type option corresponds to the Pr(0 < SGPV < 1 | θ) line, and the third line type option corresponds to the Pr(SGPV = 1 | θ) line. Default is pow.lty = c(1,1,1) for solid lines.
title.lab	Title text.
x.lab	x-axis label.
y.lab	y-axis label.
legend.on	Toggle for plotting the legend. Default is TRUE.
null.pt	Optional numeric scalar representing a point null hypothesis. Default is NA. If a value is given, it will be plotted as a black dashed line and the type I error at that point will be printed.
acc	Optional parameter specifying the resolution of the x-axis. Default is acc = 100 for plotting the power curve as a sequence of 100 (x, y) points.
