plot.scam: SCAM plotting

Description

The function is a clone of the plot.gam of the mgcv package with the differences in the construction of the Bayesian confidence intervals of the shape constrained smooth terms. The function takes a fitted scam object produced by scam() and plots the component smooth functions that make it up, on the scale of the linear predictor. Optionally produces term plots for parametric model components as well.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'scam':
plot(x,residuals=FALSE,rug=TRUE,se=TRUE,pages=0,select=NULL,scale=-1,
         n=100,n2=40,pers=FALSE,theta=30,phi=30,jit=FALSE,xlab=NULL,
         ylab=NULL,main=NULL,ylim=NULL,xlim=NULL,too.far=0.1,
         all.terms=FALSE,shade=FALSE,shade.col="gray80",
         shift=0,trans=I,seWithMean=FALSE,by.resids=FALSE,...)

Arguments

a fitted gam object as produced by gam().

residuals

If TRUE then partial residuals are added to plots of 1-D smooths. If FALSE then no residuals are added. If this is an array of the correct length then it is used as the array of residuals to be used for producing partial resi

rug

when TRUE (default) then the covariate to which the plot applies is displayed as a rug plot at the foot of each plot of a 1-d smooth, and the locations of the covariates are plotted as points on the contour plot representing a 2-d smooth.

when TRUE (default) upper and lower lines are added to the 1-d plots at 2 standard errors above and below the estimate of the smooth being plotted while for 2-d plots, surfaces at +1 and -1 standard errors are contoured and overlayed on th

pages

(default 0) the number of pages over which to spread the output. For example, if pages=1 then all terms will be plotted on one page with the layout performed automatically. Set to 0 to have the routine leave all graphics settings as they

select

Allows the plot for a single model term to be selected for printing. e.g. if you just want the plot for the second smooth term set select=2.

scale

set to -1 (default) to have the same y-axis scale for each plot, and to 0 for a different y axis for each plot. Ignored if ylim supplied.

number of points used for each 1-d plot - for a nice smooth plot this needs to be several times the estimated degrees of freedom for the smooth. Default value 100.

Square root of number of points used to grid estimates of 2-d functions for contouring.

pers

Set to TRUE if you want perspective plots for 2-d terms.

theta

One of the perspective plot angles.

phi

The other perspective plot angle.

jit

Set to TRUE if you want rug plots for 1-d terms to be jittered.

xlab

If supplied then this will be used as the x label for all plots.

ylab

If supplied then this will be used as the y label for all plots.

main

Used as title (or z axis label) for plots if supplied.

ylim

If supplied then this pair of numbers are used as the y limits for each plot.

xlim

If supplied then this pair of numbers are used as the x limits for each plot.

too.far

If greater than 0 then this is used to determine when a location is too far from data to be plotted when plotting 2-D smooths. This is useful since smooths tend to go wild away from data. The data are scaled into the unit square before deciding what to

all.terms

if set to TRUE then the partial effects of parametric model components are also plotted, via a call to termplot. Only terms of order 1 can be plotted in this way.

shade

Set to TRUE to produce shaded regions as confidence bands for smooths (not avaliable for parametric terms, which are plotted using termplot).

shade.col

define the color used for shading confidence bands.

shift

constant to add to each smooth (on the scale of the linear predictor) before plotting. Can be useful for some diagnostics, or with trans.

trans

function to apply to each smooth (after any shift), before plotting. shift and trans are occasionally useful as a means for getting plots on the response scale, when the model consists only of a single smooth.

seWithMean

if TRUE the component smooths are shown with confidence intervals that include the uncertainty about the overall mean. If FALSE then the uncertainty relates purely to the centred smooth itself. An extension of the argument p

by.resids

Should partial residuals be plotted for terms with by variables? Usually the answer is no, they would be meaningless.

...

other graphics parameters to pass on to plotting commands.

Value

The function generates plots.
