Risk-exposure scatter plot

Description

Calculates the weighted average crude risk against the average exposure level for a continuous exposure. Each point corresponds to overlapping subgroups of 20 percent of the sample ordered from lowest to highest exposure and a sliding window of 1

Usage

risk.exposure.plot(object, scale=1,...)

Arguments

object	list or data.frame with risk and x covariate. Return object of crude.risk
scale	multiplicative factor to modify scale of crude risk estimates
...	additional arguments passed to scatter.smooth

Details

The risk-exposure scatter plot is intended to explore the possible functional relationship between risk and exposure.
