Methods for Function plot and points in Package binseqtest

Description

Plot binary sequential boundaries for "boundEst" objects.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'boundEst,missing'
plot(x, 
    rcol = c(orange = "#E69F00", blue = "#56B4E9", green = "#009E73"), 
    rpch = c(openCircle=1, filledCircle=16, filledDiamond=18), 
    bplottype = "NS",   
    newplot = TRUE, dtext=NULL, grid=50, xlab=NULL, ylab=NULL, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'boundEst'
points(x, ...)

Arguments

x

an object of class "boundEst"

rcol

rejection color vector, rcol[1]=fail to reject, rcol[2]=reject, conclude theta>theta0, rcol[3]=reject, conclude theta< theta0 (see details)

rpch

rejection pch vector, correspond to same categories as rcol vector

bplottype

character, either 'NS' (default), 'FS', 'NB', 'NZ', or 'NE' (see details)

newplot

logical, should a new plot be started? if FALSE add to existing plot (only makes sense to add to plot with the same bplottype)

dtext

logical, add descriptive text? if NULL only adds text when newplot=TRUE (used for bplottype='NS' or 'FS')

grid

numeric, if maximum possible total trials<=grid then add gridlines (used for bplottype='NS' or 'FS')

xlab

title for x axis, if NULL value depends on bplottype

ylab

title for y axis, if NULL value depends on bplottype

...

other arguments to the plot function can be passed here.

Details

The default rcol vector are good colors for distinguishing for those with color blindness. Text is printed on the unused portion of the plot, which uses the color names taken from the rcol vector names.

Their are several different types of plots, selected by the bplottype argument, where the value is a character string with 2 characters, the first representing the x-axis and the second representing the y-axis. For example bplottype='NS' denotes N=total number of trials on the horizontal axis, and S=number of successes on the vertical axis. Other plots are: 'FS'=failure by successes; 'NB'=total by B-values; 'NZ'=total by Z-scores; 'NE'=total by estimates and confidence intervals. The type 'NE' is only defined if there are only 1 value for each N on the upper and 1 value for each N on the lower part of the boundary. Otherwise, the confidence intervals would overlap and be uninformative. For 'NE' the end of the boundary is not plotted because of that overlapping.

For some examples, see plot section of the vignette. The method points just calls plot(x,newPlot=FALSE,...).

Methods

signature(x = "ANY", y = "ANY")

Generic function: see plot.

signature(x = "boundEst", y = "missing")

Plot binary sequential boundaries for x.

signature(x = "ANY")

Generic function: see points.

signature(x = "boundEst")

Add points associated with the binary sequential boundaries for x to a plot.

Examples

b<-designOBF(50,theta0=.5)
plot(b,bplottype="NE")
plot(b)
b2<-designFixed(49,theta0=.5)
points(b2,rpch=c(17,17,17))
