iterativeBMA (version 1.30.0)

imageplot.iterate.bma: An image plot visualization tool

Description

Create a visualization of the models and variables selected by the iterative BMA algorithm.

Usage

imageplot.iterate.bma (bicreg.out, color="default", ...)

Arguments

bicreg.out

An object of type 'bicreg', 'bic.glm' or 'bic.surv'

color

The color of the plot. The value "default" uses the current default R color scheme for image. The value "blackandwhite" produces a black and white image.

...

Other parameters to be passed to the image and axis functions.

Value

axis, and the BMA selected models on the horizontal axis. The variables (genes) are sorted in descreasing order of the posterior probability that the variable is not equal to 0 (probne0) from top to bottom. The models are sorted in descreasing order of the model posterior probability (postprob) from left to right.

Details

This function is a modification of the imageplot.bma function from the BMA package. The difference is that variables (genes) with probne0 equal to 0 are removed before plotting. The arguments of this function is identical to those in imageplot.bma.
