rob.xyplot: Function for plotting an initial solution against the test set.

Description

Function for plotting an initial solution against the test set.

Usage

rob.xyplot(test_sol, 
            initial_sol, 
            outcome,
            all_labels = FALSE,
            jitter = TRUE,
            fontsize = 3,
            labs = TRUE,
            area_lab = TRUE)

Arguments

test_sol

The different alternative solutions created with minimize() and placed in a list using list().

initial_sol

The initial solution created with minimize().

outcome

A character string containing the name of the outcome.

all_labels

Logical. Should all the case labels be printed? If FALSE, only shaky and possible cases are printed.

jitter

Logical. Should case labels be jitter so as not to overlap?

fontsize

The size of the font for case labels.

labs

Logical.Should case labels be printed?

area_lab

Logical.Should labels for each area with regard to minTS/maxTS be printed?

Examples

# Load the data:
data(PAYF)

# Store the name of the conditions in one vector:
conds <-  c("HE","GG","AH","HI","HW")

# Create several solutions:

# The initial solution
IS <- minimize(data = PAYF,
                outcome  = "HL",
                conditions = conds,
                incl.cut = 0.87,
                n.cut = 2,
                include = "?",
                details = TRUE, 
                show.cases = TRUE)

# altering consistency
TS1 <- minimize(data = PAYF,
                 outcome  = "HL",
                 conditions = conds,
                 incl.cut = 0.7,
                 n.cut = 2,
                 include = "?",
                 details = TRUE, show.cases = TRUE)

#altering n.cut
TS2 <- minimize(data = PAYF,
                 outcome  = "HL",
                 conditions = conds,
                 incl.cut = 0.87,
                 n.cut = 1,
                 include = "?",
                 details = TRUE, show.cases = TRUE)
                 
# Create the test set in a list:
TS <- list(TS1, TS2)

# Plotting the initial solution against the test set:

rob.xyplot(test_sol = TS, 
                  initial_sol = IS, 
                  outcome = "HL",
