edgeevidence {easybgm}

Edge evidence plot

Description

The edge evidence plot colors edges according to their hypothesis testing results: blue for included, red for excluded, and gray for inconclusive. This plot can be used to visualize the hypothesis testing results whether edge presence or absence. The edge evidence plot can aid researchers in deciding which edges provide robust inferential conclusions

Usage

plot_edgeevidence(
  output,
  evidence_thresh = 10,
  split = FALSE,
  show = "all",
  ...
)

Arguments

output

Output object from the easybgm function. Supports also objects from the bgm function of the bgms package.

evidence_thresh

Bayes Factor which will be considered sufficient evidence for in-/exclusion, default is 10.

split

if TRUE, plot is split in included and excluded edges. Note that by default separate plots are shown and appear after each other in the plot window. To show the plots side-by-side specify par(mfrow = c(1, 2)).

show

specifies which edges should be shown, indicated by "all", "included", "inconclusive", "excluded".

...

Additional arguments passed onto qgraph.

Value

Returns a plot

Examples

library(easybgm)
library(bgms)

data <- na.omit(Wenchuan)
fit <- easybgm(data, type = "continuous",
                iter = 1000  # for demonstration only (> 5e4 recommended)
                )

plot_edgeevidence(fit)

oldpar <- par(mfrow = c(1,1))

par(mfrow = c(1, 2))
plot_edgeevidence(fit, split = TRUE)

#' par(mfrow = c(1, 3))
plot_edgeevidence(fit, show = "included")
plot_edgeevidence(fit, show = "inconclusive")
plot_edgeevidence(fit, show = "excluded")

par(oldpar)
