reconstruct.bs: reconstruct.bs function

Description

When bs(varname) has been used in the formula of a model, this function can be used to reconstruct the posterior relative risk of that parameter over time.

Usage

reconstruct.bs(mod, varname, probs = c(0.025, 0.975), bw = FALSE,
  xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL, plot = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

mod

model output, created by function survspat

varname

name of the variable modelled by a B-spline

probs

upper and lower quantiles for confidence regions to plot> The default is c(0.025,0.975).

bw

Logical. Plot in black/white/greyscale? Default is to produce a colour plot. Useful for producing plots for journals that do not accept colour plots.

xlab

label for x axis, there is a sensible default

ylab

label for y axis, there is a sensible default

plot

logical, whether to plot the effect of varname over time

...

other arguments to be passed to the plotting function.

Value

• median, upper and lower confidence bands for the effect of varname over time; the funciton also produces a plot.
