UPSgraph: Display Sensitivity Analysis Graphic in Unsupervised Propensiy Scoring

Description

Plot summary of results from multiple calls to UPSnnltd() and/or UPSivadj() after an initial setup call to UPSaccum(). The UPSgraph() plot displays any sensitivity of the LTD and LOA Distributions to choice of Number of Clusters in X-space.

Usage

UPSgraph(envir, nncol = "red", nwcol = "green3", ivcol = "blue", ...)

Arguments

envir

name of the working local control classic environment.

nncol

optional; string specifying color for display of the Mean of the LTD distribution when weighted by cluster size from any calls to UPSnnltd().

nwcol

optional; string specifying color for display of the Mean of the LTD distribution when weighted inversely proportional to variance from any calls to UPSnnltd().

ivcol

optional; string specifying color for display of the Difference in LOA predictions, at PS = 100% minus that at PS = 0%, from any calls to UPSivadj().

...

Additional arguments to pass to the plotting function.

Details

The third phase of Unsupervised Propensity Scoring is a graphical Sensitivity Analysis that depicts how the Overall Means of the LTD and LOA distributions change with the number of clusters.
