spatialprobit (version 1.0.4)

plot.sarprobit: Plot Diagnostics for sarprobit, semprobit or sartobit objects

Description

Three plots (selectable by which) are currently available: MCMC trace plots, autocorrelation plots and posterior density plots.

Usage

# S3 method for sarprobit
plot(x, 
which = c(1, 2, 3), 
ask = prod(par("mfcol")) < length(which) && dev.interactive(),
...,
trueparam = NULL)
# S3 method for semprobit
plot(x, 
which = c(1, 2, 3), 
ask = prod(par("mfcol")) < length(which) && dev.interactive(),
...,
trueparam = NULL)
# S3 method for sartobit
plot(x, 
which = c(1, 2, 3), 
ask = prod(par("mfcol")) < length(which) && dev.interactive(),
...,
trueparam = NULL)

Value

This function does not return any values.

Arguments

x

a sarprobit or semprobit object

which

if a subset of the plots is required, specify a subset of the numbers 1:3.

ask

logical; if TRUE, the user is asked before each plot, see par(ask=.).

...

other parameters to be passed through to plotting functions.

trueparam

a vector of "true" parameter values to be marked as vertical lines in posterior density plot

# \donttest{
library(Matrix)
set.seed(2)

# number of observations
n <- 100

# true parameters
beta <- c(0, 1, -1)
rho <- 0.75

# design matrix with two standard normal variates as "covariates"
X <- cbind(intercept=1, x=rnorm(n), y=rnorm(n))

# sparse identity matrix
I_n <- sparseMatrix(i=1:n, j=1:n, x=1)

# number of nearest neighbors in spatial weight matrix W
m <- 6

# spatial weight matrix with m=6 nearest neighbors
# W must not have non-zeros in the main diagonal!
lat <- rnorm(n)
long <- rnorm(n)
W <- kNearestNeighbors(lat, long, k=6)

# innovations
eps <- rnorm(n=n, mean=0, sd=1)

# generate data from model 
S <- I_n - rho * W
z <- solve(qr(S), X %*% beta + eps)
y <- as.vector(z >= 0)  # 0 or 1, FALSE or TRUE

# estimate SAR probit model
fit1 <- sar_probit_mcmc(y, X, W, ndraw=100, thinning=1, prior=NULL)
plot(fit1, which=c(1,3), trueparam = c(beta, rho))
