plotObservedEffects {mlegp}

Plot Observed Values Vs. Each Dimension of the Design Matrix

Description

Constructs multiple graphs, plotting each parameter from the design matrix on the x-axis and observations on the y-axis

Usage

plotObservedEffects(x, ...)

Arguments

x

an object of class gp or a design matrix

...

if x is a design matrix, a vector of observations; if x is of class gp, a vector of parameter numbers or parameter names to plot (by default, all parameters will be graphed)

Details

if x is NOT of class gp (i.e., x is a design matrix), all columns of x will be plotted separately against the vector of observations

if x is of class gp, the specified columns of the design matrix of x will be plotted against the the observations

Note

It is often useful to use this function before fitting the gaussian process, to check that the observations are valid

Examples

## create the design and output matrices ##
x1 = kronecker(seq(0,1,by=.25), rep(1,5))
x2 = rep(seq(0,1,by=.25),5)
z = 4 * x1 - 2*x2 + x1 * x2 + rnorm(length(x1), sd = 0.001)

## look at the observed effects prior to fitting the GP ##
plotObservedEffects(cbind(x1,x2), z)

## fit the Gaussian process ##
fit = mlegp(cbind(x1,x2), z, param.names = c("x1", "x2"))

## look at the observed effects of the fitted GP (which are same as above)
plotObservedEffects(fit)
