plotPIT {glarma}

PIT Plots for a glarma Object

Description

Two plots for the non-randomized PIT are currently available for checking the distributional assumption of the fitted GLARMA model: the PIT histogram, and the uniform Q-Q plot for PIT.

Usage

histPIT(object, bins = 10, line = TRUE, colLine = "red",
        colHist = "royal blue", lwdLine = 2, main = NULL, ...)
qqPIT(object, bins = 10, col1 = "red", col2 = "black",
      lty1 = 1, lty2 = 2, type = "l", main = NULL, ...)

Arguments

object

An object of class "glarma", obtained from a call to glarma.

bins

Numeric; the number of bins shown in the PIT histogram or the PIT Q-Q plot. By default, it is 10.

line

Logical; if TRUE, the line for displaying the standard uniform distribution will be shown for the purpose of comparison. The default is TRUE.

colLine

Numeric or character; the colour of the line for comparison in PIT histogram.

lwdLine

Numeric; the line widths for the comparison line in PIT histogram.

colHist

Numeric or character; the colour of the histogram for PIT.

col1

Numeric or character; the colour of the sample uniform Q-Q plot in PIT.

col2

Numeric or character; the colour of the theoretical uniform Q-Q plot in PIT.

lty1

An integer or character string; the line types for the sample uniform Q-Q plot in PIT, see par(lty = .).

lty2

An integer or character string; the line types for the theoretical uniform Q-Q plot in PIT, see par(lty = .).

type

A 1-character string; the type of plot for the sample uniform Q-Q plot in PIT.

main

A character string giving a title. For each plot the default provides a useful title.

...

Further arguments passed to plot.default and plot.ts.

Details

The histogram and the Q-Q plot are used to compare the fitted profile with U(0, 1). If they match relatively well, it means the distributional assumption is satisfied.
