plot.disProg: Plot Generation of the Observed and the defined Outbreak States of a (multivariate) time series

Description

Plotting of a disProg object.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'disProg':
plot(x, title = "", xaxis.years=TRUE, startyear = x$start[1],
   firstweek = x$start[2], as.one=TRUE, same.scale=TRUE, \dots)
  ## S3 method for class 'disProg.one':
plot(x, title = "", xaxis.years=TRUE, quarters=TRUE, 
  startyear =  x$start[1], firstweek = x$start[2], ylim=NULL, xlab="time",
   ylab="No. infected",type="hh",lty=c(1,1),col=c(1,1), 
   outbreak.symbol = list(pch=3, col=3), legend.opts=list(x="top", 
   legend=c("Infected", "Outbreak"), lty=NULL,pch=NULL,col=NULL), ...)

Arguments

x

object of class disProg

title

plot title

xaxis.years

if TRUE, the x axis is labeled using years

quarters

add quarters to the plot

startyear

year to begin the axis labeling (the year where the oldest data come from). This arguments will be obsolete in sts.

firstweek

number of the first week of January in the first year (just for axis labeling grounds)

as.one

if TRUE all individual time series are shown in one plot

same.scale

if TRUE all plots have same scale

ylim

range of y axis

xlab

label of the x-axis

ylab

label of the y-axis

type

line type of the observed counts (should be hh)

lty

line type of the observed counts

col

color of the observed count lines

outbreak.symbol

list with entries pch and col specifying the plot symbol

legend.opts

a list containing the entries to be sent to the legend function. If no legend is requested use legend.opts=NULL. Otherwise, the following arguments are default [object Object],[objec

...

further arguments for the function matplot

Value

• a plot
  showing the number of infected and the defined alarm status for a time series created by simulation or given in data either in one single plot or in several plots for each individual time series.

Examples

# Plotting of simulated data
    disProgObj <- sim.pointSource(p = 0.99, r = 0.5, length = 208,
                                    A = 1, alpha = 1, beta = 0, phi = 0,
                                    frequency = 1, state = NULL, K = 5)
    # plot the simulated disease with the defined outbreaks
    plot(disProgObj)
    title <- "Number of Infected and Defined Outbreak Positions for Simulated Data"
    plot(disProgObj, title = title)
    plot(disProgObj, title = title, xaxis.years=TRUE,
            startyear = 1999, firstweek = 13)
    plot(disProgObj, title = title, xaxis.years=TRUE,
            startyear = 1999, firstweek = 14)
    
    # Plotting of measles data
    data(measles.weser)
    # one plot
    plot(measles.weser, title = "measles cases in the district Weser-Ems",
            xaxis.years=TRUE, startyear= 2001, firstweek=1)
    # plot cases for each "Kreis" 
    plot(measles.weser, same.scale=TRUE, as.one=FALSE)
