##### Plot Effects of Variables Estimated by a Regression Model Fit Using plotly

Uses plotly graphics (without using ggplot2) to plot the effect of one or two predictors on the linear predictor or X beta scale, or on some transformation of that scale. The first argument specifies the result of the Predict function. The predictor is always plotted in its original coding. Hover text shows point estimates, confidence intervals, and on the leftmost x-point, adjustment variable settings.

If Predict was run with no variable settings, so that each predictor is varied one at a time, the result of plotp.Predict is a list with two elements. The first, named Continuous, is a plotly object containing a single graphic with all the continuous predictors varying. The second, named Categorical, is a plotly object containing a single graphic with all the categorical predictors varying. If there are no categorical predictors, the value returned by by plotp.Predict is a single plotly object and not a list of objects.

If rdata is given, a spike histogram is drawn showing the location/density of data values for the $$x$$-axis variable. If there is a superposition variable that generated separate curves, the data density specific to each class of points is shown. The histograms are drawn by histSpikeg.

To plot effects instead of estimates (e.g., treatment differences as a function of interacting factors) see contrast.rms and summary.rms.

Unlike ggplot.Predict, plotp.Predict does not handle groups, anova, or perim arguments.

##### Usage
# S3 method for Predict
plotp(data, subset, xlim, ylim, xlab, ylab,
rdata=NULL, nlevels=3, vnames=c('labels','names'),
histSpike.opts=list(frac=function(f) 0.01 +
0.02 * sqrt(f - 1)/sqrt(max(f, 2) - 1), side=1, nint=100),
ncols=3, width=800, ...)
##### Arguments
data

a data frame created by Predict

subset

a subsetting expression for restricting the rows of data that are used in plotting. For example, predictions may have been requested for males and females but one wants to plot only females.

xlim

ignored unless predictors were specified to Predict. Specifies the x-axis limits of the single plot produced.

ylim

Range for plotting on response variable axis. Computed by default and includes the confidence limits.

xlab

Label for x-axis when a single plot is made, i.e., when a predictor is specified to Predict. Default is one given to asis, rcs, etc., which may have been the "label" attribute of the variable.

ylab

Label for y-axis. If fun is not given, default is "log Odds" for lrm, "log Relative Hazard" for cph, name of the response variable for ols, TRUE or log(TRUE) for psm, or "X * Beta" otherwise. Specify ylab=NULL to omit y-axis labels.

rdata

a data frame containing the original raw data on which the regression model were based, or at least containing the $$x$$-axis and grouping variable. If rdata is present and contains the needed variables, the original data are added to the graph in the form of a spike histogram using histSpikeg in the Hmisc package.

nlevels

A non-numeric x-axis variable with nlevels or fewer unique values will cause a horizontal dot plot to be drawn instead of an x-y plot.

vnames

applies to the case where multiple plots are produced separately by predictor. Set to 'names' to use variable names instead of labels for these small plots.

histSpike.opts

a list containing named elements that specifies parameters to histSpikeg when rdata is given. The col parameter is usually derived from other plotting information and not specified by the user.

ncols

number of columns of plots to use when plotting multiple continuous predictors

width

width in pixels for plotly graphics

ignored

##### Value

a plotly object or a list containing two elements, each one a plotly object
