Plot Baseline Versus Post-Treatment Binding Potentials

Description

Inspired by the Lassen plot (Cunningham et al., 2010) this is a straightforward graphical summary of pre-treatment versus post-treatment binding potentials for a single subject across multiple brain regions.

Usage

plotBindingPotential(
  base,
  drug,
  lty45 = 2,
  lty = 1,
  lwd45 = 2,
  lwd = 3,
  col45 = "darkgrey",
  col = "orange",
  pch = 1,
  cex = 1,
  xlim = range(0, base, 0.5),
  ylim = range(0, drug, 0.5),
  xlab = expression(BP[ND]^{
     Base
 }),
  ylab = expression(BP[ND]^{
     Drug
 }),
  ...
)

Arguments

`base`	is the vector of baseline binding potentials across brain regions.
`drug`	is the vector of post-treatment binding potentials across brain regions.
`lty45`	is the line type for the 45-degree line.
`lty`	is the line type for the estimated regression line.
`lwd45`	is the line width for the 45-degree line.
`lwd`	is the line width for the estimated regression line.
`col45`	is the color for the 45-degree line.
`col`	is the color for the estimated regression line.
`pch`	is the plotting character symbol.
`cex`	is the size of the plotting symbol.
`xlim`	is the range of values on the x-axis.
`ylim`	is the range of values on the y-axis.
`xlab`	is the label on the x-axis.
`ylab`	is the label on the y-axis.
`...`	additional arguments to be passed to the `plot` function.
