Plot Method for 'gosh.rma' Objects
Plot method for objects of class "gosh.rma".
## S3 method for class 'gosh.rma'
plot(x, het="I2", pch=16, cex=0.5, out, col, alpha, border,
xlim, ylim, xhist=TRUE, yhist=TRUE, hh=.3, breaks,
adjust, lwd, labels, ...)x |
an object of class |
het |
character string indicating the heterogeneity measure to plot. Either |
pch |
plotting symbol to use. By default, a borderless filled circle is used. See |
cex |
symbol expansion factor. |
out |
optional integer indicating the number of a study that may be a potential outlier. If specified, subsets containing the specified study are drawn in a different color than those not containing the study. |
col |
optional character string specifying the name of a color to use for the points (if not provided, points are drawn in black). When |
alpha |
optional alpha transparency value for the points (0 means fully transparent and 1 means opaque). If unspecified, the function tries to set this to a sensible value. |
border |
optional character string specifying the name of a color to use for the borders of the histogram (if not provided, borders are drawn in white). Set to |
xlim |
x-axis limits. If unspecified, the function tries to set the x-axis limits to some sensible values. |
ylim |
y-axis limits. If unspecified, the function tries to set the y-axis limits to some sensible values. |
xhist |
logical specifying whether a histogram should be drawn for the x-axis (the default is |
yhist |
logical specifying whether a histogram should be drawn for the y-axis (the default is |
hh |
optional numerical value (or vector of two values) to adjust the height of the histogram(s). Must be between 0 and 1, but should not be too close to 0 or 1, as otherwise the plot cannot be drawn. |
breaks |
optional argument passed on to |
adjust |
optional argument passed on to |
lwd |
optional numeric value to specify the line width of the estimated densities. Set to |
labels |
optional argument to specify the x-axis and y-axis labels (or passed on to |
... |
other arguments. |
For models without moderators, the function draws a scatterplot of the model estimates on the x-axis against the chosen measure of heterogeneity on the y-axis. Histograms of the respective distributions (with kernel density estimates superimposed) are shown in the margins (when xhist=TRUE and yhist=TRUE).
For models with moderators, the function draws a scatterplot matrix (with the pairs function) of the chosen measure of heterogeneity and each of the model coefficients. Histograms of the variables plotted are shown along the diagonal, with kernel density estimates of the distributions superimposed. Arguments xlim, ylim, xhist, and yhist are then ignored (argument hh can then be used to compress/stretch the height of the distributions shown along the diagonal).
