stripChart

1-D Scatter Plots with Confidence Intervals


Description

stripChart is a modification of the R function stripchart. It is a generic function used to produce one dimensional scatter plots (or dot plots) of the given data, along with text indicating sample size and estimates of location (mean or median) and scale (standard deviation or interquartile range), as well as confidence intervals for the population location parameter. One dimensional scatterplots are a good alternative to boxplots when sample sizes are small or moderate. The function invokes particular methods which depend on the class of the first argument.

Usage

stripChart(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'formula'
stripChart(x, data = NULL, dlab = NULL, 
    subset, na.action = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

the data from which the plots are to be produced. In the default method the data can be specified as a list or data frame where each component is numeric, a numeric matrix, or a numeric vector. In the formula method, a symbolic specification of the form y ~ g can be given, indicating the observations in the vector y are to be grouped according to the levels of the factor g (the form y ~ 1 indicates no grouping). NAs are allowed in the data.
NOTE: When the formula method is used and the argument paired=TRUE (see below), the data in the vector y must have the same number of observations for each level of the factor g and for each level sorted in the same way according to the pairing variable.

data

for the formula method, a data.frame (or list) from which the variables in x should be taken.

subset

for the formula method, an optional vector specifying a subset of observations to be used for plotting.

na.action

for the formula method, a function which indicates what should happen when the data contain NAs. The default is to ignore missing values in either the response or the group.

...

additional parameters passed to the default method, or by it to plot, points, axis, and title to control the appearance of the plot.

method

the method to be used to separate coincident points. When method="stack" coincident points are stacked, when method="jitter" coincident points are jittered, and when method="overplot" coincident points are overplotted. When there are 2 groups and paired=TRUE and paired.lines=TRUE the default value is method="overplot", otherewise the default method is method="stack" (which differs from the default value for the R function stripchart, which uses
method="overplot" by default).

seed

when method="jitter" is used, the argument seed is passed to the R function set.seed. Since jittering depends on the R random number generator, using the same value of seed each time the same data are plotted with stripChart ensures that the resulting plot is the same.

jitter

when method="jitter" is used, jitter gives the amount of jittering applied.

offset

when stacking is used, points are stacked this many line-heights (symbol widths) apart.

vertical

when vertical=TRUE (the default), the plots are drawn vertically rather than horizontally.

group.names

group labels which will be printed alongside (or underneath) each plot.

group.names.cex

numeric scalar indicating the amount by which the group labels should be scaled relative to the default (see the help file for plot.default). The default is the current value of the graphics parameter cex.

drop.unused.levels

when drop.unused.levels=TRUE, groups with no observations are dropped.

add

logical, if true add the chart to the current plot.

at

numeric vector giving the locations where the charts should be drawn, particularly when add=TRUE; defaults to 1:n where n is the number of groups.

xlim, ylim

plot limits: see plot.window.

ylab, xlab

labels: see title.

dlab, glab

alternate way to specify axis labels. The dlab and glab labels may be used instead of xlab and ylab if those are not specified. dlab applies to the continuous data axis (the y-axis unless vertical=FALSE), and glab to the group axis.

log

on which axes to use a log scale: see plot.default.

3/ifelse(n > 2, (n-1)^(1/3), 1).

ci.bar.ends

logical scalar indicating whether to add flat ends to the confidence interval bars. The default value is ci.bar.ends=TRUE.

ci.bar.ends.size

numeric scalar in units of cxy indicating the size of confidence interval bar ends. The default value is half of the current value of cex.

ci.bar.gap

logical scalar indicating with to add a gap between the estimate of group location and the confidence interval bar. The default value is ci.bar.gap=FALSE.

n.text

character string indicating whether and where to indicate the sample size for each group. Possible values are "bottom" (the default), "top", and "none".

The default value is the value of location.scale.digits, which forces all estimates of location and scale have the same number of digits to the right of the decimal point (including, possibly, trailing zeros). To omit trailing zeros, set nsmall=0.

location.scale.text.line

integer indicating on which plot margin line to show the estimates of location and scale for each group. The default value is
location.scale.text.line=0 when n.text="top" and 3.5 otherwise.

location.scale.text.cex

numeric scalar giving the amount by which the text indicating the estimates of location and scale for each group should be scaled relative to the default (see the help file for plot.default). The default depends on the number of groups and is given by cex * 0.8 * ifelse(n > 6, max(0.4, 1 - (n-6) * 0.06), 1), where cex denotes the current value of the graphics parameter cex.

When ci.and.test="parametric" (the default), confidence intervals for the population mean are based on the one-sample t-test (see t.test), and the test of group differences is based on the two-sample t-test if there are two groups and the F-test (i.e., one-way analysis of variance, see aov) if there are three or more groups. When ci.and.test="nonparametric", confidence intervals for the population pseudo-median are based on the Wilcoxon signed rank test (see wilcox.test and page 56 of Hollander and Wolfe, 1999), and the test of group differences is based on the Wilcoxon rank sum test if there are two groups (see wilcox.test) and the Kruskal-Wallis test (see kruskal.test) if there are three or more groups.

test.arg.list

an optional list of arguments to pass to the function used to test for group differences in location. The default value is test.arg.list=NULL. In particular, in the case when there are two groups, ci.and.test="parametric", and ci.arg.list is NULL or does not contain a component specifying the value for var.equal, this argument is updated to include the component var.equal=TRUE, which is not the default behavior of t.test.
NOTE: If test.arg.list contains a component named "paired", the value of that component is set to the value of the argument paired (see below).

alternative

character string describing the alternative hypothesis for the test of group differences in the case when there are two groups. Possible values are "two.sided" (the default), "less", and "greater".

plot.diff

applicable only to the case when there are two groups:
logical scalar indicating whether to plot the confidence interval for the difference between the groups. The default is plot.diff=FALSE.

When plot.diff=TRUE and paired=FALSE, the confidence interval for the difference between the two locations is displayed and the right-hand axis (when vertical=TRUE) or top axis (when vertical=FALSE) is labeled in units of the confidence interval for the difference between the two locations. If
ci.and.test="parametric", the confidence interval for the difference between the two means is displayed. If ci.and.test="nonparametric", the confidence interval for the median of the difference between a sample from the first group and a sample from the second group is displayed (see the help file for wilcox.test.

When plot.diff=TRUE and paired=TRUE, the paired differences are displayed and the right-hand axis (when vertical=TRUE) or top axis (when
vertical=FALSE) is labeled in units of the paired differences. In addition, if show.ci=TRUE, the confidence interval based on the paired differences is displayed. In this case, if ci.and.test="parametric" the confidence interval for the mean of the paired differences is displayed, and if
ci.and.test="nonparametric" the confidence interval for the pseudomedian is displayed (see the help file for wilcox.test.

character scalar indicating the label to use for the confidence interval for the difference between groups. For the case when paired=TRUE, this label also describes the paired differences. The default value is diff.name=NULL, in which case the label is "group 2 - group 1", where group 1 and group 2 denote the names for the each group. For example, if group 1 is labeled "A" and group 2 is labeled "B", then the default value is diff.name="B-A".

diff.name.cex
