plot,dosefinding,missing-method: The graphical representation of dose-finding results.

Description

A plot selection showing either the dose escalation allocation of the selected trial or the plot of the final posterior distributions of the probability of toxicity at each dose or the boxplot of the sampling distribution of the probability of toxicity at each dose in the end of the trial over the total number of trials.

Usage

# S4 method for dosefinding,missing
plot(x, y = NA, TR = 1, ask = TRUE,
  CI = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x

a "dosefinding" object.

y

the "y" argument is not used in the plot-method for "dosefinding" object.

TR

The number of the selected trial that user wants to plot; defaults to 1.

ask

Choose plot or not; defaults to TRUE.

CI

Indicate if the "dosefinding" object includes the 95% credible interval for the posterior dose response plot; defaults to TRUE.

other arguments to the plot.default function can be passed here.
