plot.BTLLasso {BTLLasso}R Documentation

Plot parameter paths for BTLLasso

Description

Plots single paths for every parameter of a BTLLasso object or a cv.BTLLasso object. In contrast, to paths, one plot per covariate is created, every single parameter is illustrated by one path. For cv.BTLLasso objects, the optimal model according to the cross-validation is marked by a vertical dashed line.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'BTLLasso'
plot(
  x,
  plots_per_page = 1,
  ask_new = TRUE,
  rescale = FALSE,
  which = "all",
  equal.ranges = FALSE,
  x.axis = c("loglambda", "lambda"),
  rows = NULL,
  subs.X = NULL,
  subs.Z1 = NULL,
  main.Z2 = "Obj-spec. Covariates",
  ...
)

Arguments

x

BTLLasso or cv.BTLLasso object

plots_per_page

Number of plots per page, internally specified by par(mfrow=...).

ask_new

If TRUE, the user is asked before each plot.

rescale

Should the parameter estimates be rescaled for plotting? Only applies if scale = TRUE was specified in BTLLasso or cv.BTLLasso.

which

Integer vector to specify which parameters/variables to plot.

equal.ranges

Should all single plots (for different covariates) have equal ranges on the y-axes. FALSE by default.

x.axis

Should the paths be plotted against log(lambda+1) or against lambda?

rows

Optional argument for the number of rows in the plot. Only applies if plots_per_page>1.

subs.X

Optional vector of subtitles for variables in X. Can be used to note the encoding of the single covariates, especially for dummy variables.

subs.Z1

Optional vector of subtitles for variables in Z1. Can be used to note the encoding of the single covariates, especially for dummy variables.

main.Z2

Optional character containg main for plot containing intervals for Z2 parameters.

...
