Plot method for GPvam
Description
Plot teacher effects and residuals. The caterpillar plots use a modified version of the plotCI function from R package gplots. According to that package, "Original version [of plotCI] by Bill Venables wvenable@attunga.stats.adelaide.edu.au posted to r-help on Sep. 20, 1997. Enhanced version posted to r-help by Ben Bolker ben@zoo.ufl.edu on Apr. 16, 2001. This version was modified and extended by Gregory R. Warnes greg@warnes.net. Additional changes suggested by Martin Maechler maechler@stat.math.ethz.ch integrated on July 29, 2004."
