TPmsm (version 1.1.0)

plot.TPCmsm: plot method for a TPCmsm object

Description

plot method for an object of class 'TPCmsm'. It draws the estimated transition probabilities in a basic scatterplot.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'TPCmsm':
plot(x, plot.type="t", tr.choice, xlab, ylab, col, lty, xlim, ylim,
conf.int=FALSE, ci.col, ci.lty, legend=TRUE, legend.pos, curvlab,
legend.bty="n", ...)

Arguments

x

An object of class 'TPCmsm'.

plot.type

A character string specifying the type of plot. If 't' the scatterplot of transition probability versus time is plotted. If 'c' the scatterplot of transition probability versus covariate is plotted.

tr.choice

Character vector of the form 'c("from to", "from to")' specifying which transitions should be plotted. Default, all the transition probabilities are plotted.

xlab

x-axis label.

ylab

y-axis label.

col

Vector of colour.

lty

Vector of line type. Default is 1:number of transitions.

xlim

Limits of x-axis for the plot.

ylim

Limits of y-axis for the plot.

conf.int

Logical. Whether to display pointwise confidence bands. Default is FALSE.

ci.col

Colour of the confidence bands. Default is col.

ci.lty

Line type of the confidence bands. Default is 3.

legend

A logical specifying if a legend should be added.

legend.pos

A vector giving the legend's position. See legend for further details.

curvlab

A character or expression vector to appear in the legend. Default is the name of the transitions.

legend.bty

Box type for the legend. By default no box is drawn.
