Convenience function for generating edge impact plots
# S3 method for edge.impact
plot(
x,
nodes = c("first", "all"),
type.edgeplot = c("contrast", "single"),
title = NULL,
maximum = "auto",
...
)an output object from an impact function (edge.impact)
specifies which impact graph(s) to be plotted. Can be given as a character string of desired node(s) (e.g., c("node1","node2")) or as a numeric vector of column numbers (e.g., c(1,2)).
"contrast" returns two separate networks: one for low values of the given node, and one for high values. "single" returns a network where edges represent the edge impact of the given node.
if not otherwise specified, title is automatically generated
sets a maximum for edge thickness (see maximum argument in ?qgraph). "auto" uses the maximum edge from the collective two networks.
other plotting specifications (qgraph)
Inputting a edge.impact object will return network plots. Depending on the
type.edgeplot argument, two types of networks are possible. Using "contrast"
will return "true" estimated networks from the data, separated by a median split on the
selected node. Using "single" will return a network where the edges represent the edge
impacts for the selected node (e.g., thick positive edges represent a strong positive
edge impact)
