plot.eefAnalytics: A plot method for the an eefAnalytics S3 object obtained from...

In eefAnalytics: Analysing Education Trials

Description

plots different figures based on output from eefAnalytics package.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'eefAnalytics'
plot(x, group = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	an output object from the eefAnalytics package.
group	a value indicating which intervention to plot. This must not be greater than the number of intervention excluding the control group. For a two arm trial, the maximum value is 1 and a maximum value of 2 for three arm trial.
...	arguments passed to plot.default

Details

Plot produces graphical visualisation depending on which model is fitted:

• For srtFREQ(), plot can only be used when nBoot or nPerm is specified to visualise the distribution of boostrapped or permutated values.

• For crtFREQ() or mstFREQ, plot shows the distribution of random intercepts when group=NULL. It produces histogram of permutated or bootstrapped values when group is specified and either nBoot or nPerm is also specified.

• For mlmBayes(), plot produces the distrbution of random intercepts when group = NULL. It produces the probability of effect size to be greater than a pre-specified threshold when group is specified.

• Lastly, plot produces forest plots to compare CACE estimated for different level of compliance when caceSRTBoot() or caceCRTBoot() or caceMSTBoot() is used.

Value

Returns relevant plots for each model.
