varbin.plot: varbin.plot

Description

Generate simple plot to visualize binning results

Usage

varbin.plot(ivTable)

Arguments

ivTable

Output from either varbin, varbin.factor, varbin.monotonic or varbin.kink.

Value

The command varbin.plot generates a simple plot with the Weight of Evidence values on the y-axis and the cutpoints/binnings on the x-axis. Gives a nice overview of the functional form and the relatioship between the explanatory variable and the dependent variable.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# Set seed and generate data
set.seed(1337)
target <- as.numeric(runif(10000, 0, 1)<0.2)
age <- round(rnorm(10000, 40, 15), 0)
age[age<20] <- round(rnorm(sum(age<20), 40, 5), 0)
age[age>95] <- round(rnorm(sum(age>95), 40, 5), 0)
inc <- round(rnorm(10000, 100000, 10000), 0)
educ <- sample(c("MSC", "BSC", "SELF", "PHD", "OTHER"), 10000, replace=TRUE)
df <- data.frame(target=target, age=age, inc=inc, educ=educ)

# Perform restricted binning
result <- varbin.kink(df, "inc", "target")
# Plot result
varbin.plot(result)
# }
