plot_hsim {hindex}

Plot the result of simulate_hindex

Description

Plot the result of a simulation computed by simulate_hindex.

Usage

plot_hsim(
  simdata,
  plot_hindex = FALSE,
  plot_halpha = FALSE,
  plot_toppapers = FALSE,
  plot_mindex = FALSE,
  subgroups = FALSE,
  group_boundaries = NULL,
  exclude_group_boundaries = FALSE,
  plot_group_diffs = FALSE
)

Arguments

simdata

The result of a simulation returned by simulate_hindex.

plot_hindex

If this parameter is set to TRUE, the h-index values are plotted.

plot_halpha

If this parameter is set to TRUE, the h-alpha values are plotted.

plot_toppapers

If this parameter is set to TRUE, the numbers of top-10% papers are plotted.

plot_mindex

If this parameter is set to TRUE, the mindex values are plotted.

subgroups

If this parameter is set to TRUE, the subgroups in simdata are considered for grouping plotting the index values separately for each of these groups.

group_boundaries

Alternative to subgroups for specifying groups of scientists for plotting the index values separately for these groups. Here, the groups are specified based on the initial h-index of the agents. group_boundaries must be a list of vectors or a vector of integers specifying the groups. If a list is specified, each element must be a vector of length 2 representing the lower and the upper bound for the initial h-index (if the boundaries are included in the corresponding intervals is specified by the exclude_group_boundaries parameter). If a vector of integers is specified, each element in group_boundaries separates two groups such that all agents with an initial h-index below this boundary (and equal to or above any lower boundary; if exclude_group_boundaries is set to TRUE, the initial h-index has to be above any lower boundary) are in the first group, and all agents with an initial h-index equal to or above this boundary (and below any higher boundary) are in the second group.

exclude_group_boundaries

If this parameter is set to TRUE, the scientists are grouped such that those scientists whose initial h-index is equal to a boundary are not included.

plot_group_diffs

If this parameter is specified, the difference between the groups that are specified by group_boundaries is plotted.

Value

A ggplot object (ggplot).

Examples

set.seed(123)
simdata <- simulate_hindex(runs = 2, n = 20, periods = 3)
plot_hsim(simdata, plot_hindex = TRUE, plot_halpha = TRUE)
