heplot1d: One-Dimensional HE Plots

Description

This function plots a 1-dimensional representation of the hypothesis (H) and error (E) sums-of-squares-and-products matrices for terms and linear hypotheses in a multivariate linear model. In particular, for a given response, the 1-D representations of H and E matrices correspond to line segments. The E ``ellipse'' is shown as a filled rectangle whose width equals the mean squared error for that response. The H ``ellipse'' for each model term is shown as a line segment whose length represents either the size of the effect or the evidence for that effect. This version is an initial sketch. Details of the implementation are subject to change.

Usage

heplot1d(mod, ...)

## S3 method for class 'mlm':
heplot1d(mod, terms, hypotheses, term.labels = TRUE, hyp.labels = TRUE, 
	variables = 1, error.ellipse = !add, factor.means = !add, grand.mean = !add, 
	remove.intercept = TRUE, type = c("II", "III", "2", "3"), manova, 
	size = c("evidence", "effect.size"), level = 0.68, alpha = 0.05, segments = 40, 
	center.pch = "|", col = palette()[-1], lty = 2:1, lwd = 1:2, xlab, main = "", 
	xlim, axes = TRUE, offset.axes, add = FALSE, verbose = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

mod

a model object of class "mlm".

terms

a logical value or character vector of terms in the model for which to plot hypothesis matrices; if missing or TRUE, defaults to all terms; if FALSE, no terms are plotted.

hypotheses

optional list of linear hypotheses for which to plot hypothesis matrices; hypotheses are specified as for the linear.hypothesis function in the car package; the list

term.labels

logical value or character vector of names for the terms to be plotted. If TRUE (the default) the names of the terms are used; if FALSE, term labels are not plotted.

hyp.labels

logical value or character vector of names for the hypotheses to be plotted. If TRUE (the default) the names of components of the list of hypotheses are used; if FALSE, hypothesis labels are not plotted.

variables

indices or names of the two response variables to be plotted; defaults to 1:2.

error.ellipse

if TRUE, plot the error ellipse; defaults to TRUE, if the argument add is FALSE (see below).

factor.means

logical value or character vector of names of factors for which the means are to be plotted, or TRUE or FALSE; defaults to TRUE, if the argument add is FALSE (see below).

grand.mean

if TRUE, plot the centroid for all of the data; defaults to TRUE, if the argument add is FALSE (see below).

remove.intercept

if TRUE (the default), do not plot the ellipse for the intercept even if it is in the MANOVA table.

type

``type'' of sum-of-squares-and-products matrices to compute; one of "II", "III", "2", or "3", where "II" is the default (and "2" is a synomym).

manova

optional Anova.mlm object for the model; if absent a MANOVA is computed. Specifying the argument can therefore save computation in repeated calls.

size

how to scale the hypothesis ellipse relative to the error ellipse; if "evidence", the default, the scaling is done so that a ``significant'' hypothesis ellipse extends outside of the error ellipse; if "effect.size"

level

equivalent coverage of ellipse for normally-distributed errors, defaults to 0.68.

alpha

signficance level for Roy's greatest-root test statistic; if size="evidence", then the hypothesis ellipse is scaled so that it just touches the error ellipse at the specified alpha level; a larger hypothesis elllipse therefore

segments

number of line segments composing each ellipse; defaults to 40.

center.pch

character to use in plotting the centroid of the data; defaults to "|".

col

a colour or vector of colours to use in plotting ellipses; the first colour is used for the error ellipse; the remaining colours --- recycled as necessary --- are used for the hypothesis ellipses; a single colour can be given, in which cas

lty

vector of line types to use for plotting the ellipses; the first is used for the error ellipse, the rest --- possibly recycled --- for the hypothesis ellipses; a single line type can be given. Defaults to 2:1.

lwd

vector of line widths to use for plotting the ellipses; the first is used for the error ellipse, the rest --- possibly recycled --- for the hypothesis ellipses; a single line width can be given. Defaults to 1:2.

xlab

x-axis label; defaults to name of the x variable.

main

main plot label; defaults to "".

xlim

x-axis limits; if absent, will be computed from the data.

axes

Whether to draw the x, y axes; defaults to TRUE

offset.axes

proportion to extend the axes in each direction if computed from the data; optional.

add

if TRUE, add to the current plot; the default is FALSE. If TRUE, the error ellipse is not plotted.

verbose

if TRUE, print the MANOVA table and details of hypothesis tests; the default is FALSE.

...

arguments to pass down to plot, text, and points.

Value

• The function invisibly returns an object of class "heplot1d", with coordinates for the various hypothesis ellipses and the error ellipse, and the limits of the horizontal and vertical axes. (No methods for manipulating these objects are currently available.) The components are:
• H
  ranges for the hypothesis terms
• E
  range for E
• xlim
  x-axis limits
