plotBindingPotential: Plot Baseline Versus Post-Treatment Binding Potentials

Description

Inspired by the Lassen plot (Cunningham et al., 2010) this is a straightforward graphical summary of pre-treatment versus post-treatment binding potentials for a single subject across multiple brain regions.

Usage

plotBindingPotential(base, drug, lty45=2, lty=1, lwd45=2, lwd=3,
                     col45="darkgrey", col="orange", pch=1, cex=1,
                     xlim=range(0, base, 0.5), ylim=range(0, drug, 0.5),
                     xlab=expression(BP[ND]^{Base}),
                     ylab=expression(BP[ND]^{Drug}), ...)

Arguments

base
is the vector of baseline binding potentials across brain regions.
drug
is the vector of post-treatment binding potentials across brain regions.
lty45
is the line type for the 45-degree line.
lty
is the line type for the estimated regression line.
lwd45
is the line width for the 45-degree line.
lwd
is the line width for the estimated regression line.
col45
is the color for the 45-degree line.
col
is the color for the estimated regression line.
pch
is the plotting character symbol.
cex
is the size of the plotting symbol.
xlim
is the range of values on the x-axis.
ylim
is the range of values on the y-axis.
xlab
is the label on the x-axis.
ylab
is the label on the y-axis.
...
