Package 'EffectStars2' reference manual

Title:	Effect Stars
Description:	Provides functions for the method of effect stars as proposed by Tutz and Schauberger (2013) <doi:10.1080/10618600.2012.701379>. Effect stars can be used to visualize estimates of parameters corresponding to different groups, for example in multinomial logit models. Beside the main function 'effectstars' there exist methods for special objects, for example for 'vglm' objects from the 'VGAM' package.

Plot effect stars.

Description

Plots effect stars for grouped coefficients. Effect stars are applicable if the parameters of a model are grouped in some sense. For example, the parameters of a multinomial logit models are grouped by the covariates, i.e. per covariate there is one estimate per response category. But also in many other models, the parameters can have a fixed grouping structure. All estimates have to be positive, typically the exponentials of the estimates are plotted. Every effect star comes with a circle of radius 1. This circle represents the case of no effect, i.e. exp(0)=1.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
effectstars(x, names = NULL, subs = NULL,
  labels = NULL, control = star.ctrl(), cols = NULL, fixed = FALSE,
  scale = 1, ...)
## Default S3 method:
effectstars(x, names = NULL, subs = NULL,
  labels = NULL, control = star.ctrl(), cols = NULL, fixed = FALSE,
  scale = 1, ...)

Arguments

`x`	A matrix containing all coefficients to plot, one column per group/covariate, one row per category. If the arguments `names` and `labels` are not specified, the `colnames` and `rownames` of `x` are used.
`names`	A vector containing all group/covariate names, will be used as titles of single effect stars. If NULL, `colnames` of `x` is used.
`subs`	A vector containing all subtitles, one per group/covariate.
`labels`	A vector or a matrix containing labels of the categories. If labels is a matrix, it needs to have the same dimensions as `x`. Otherwise, `labels` is a vector with length equal to the number of categories, i.e. number rows of `x`. If NULL, `rownames` of `x` is used.
`control`	Control argument (to set graphical parameters) for method `effectstars`, see `star.ctrl`.
`cols`	Number of columns for arranging effect stars
`fixed`	If `TRUE`, all circles have the same radius. If `FALSE`, every star is scaled so that the length of the longest ray is equal for all stars.
`scale`	Global factor to increase (`scale`>1) or decrease (`scale`<1) the size of the stars.
`...`	possible further arguments

Plot effect stars for vglm objects.

Description

Plots effect stars for vglm-objects. In particular, the method works for multinomial logit models created by family multinomial and for models with ordinal response like sratio, cratio, cumulative or acat.

For more details on plotting effect stars see effectstars.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'vglm'
effectstars(x, p.values = FALSE, symmetric = TRUE,
  plot.parallel = FALSE, ...)
## S3 method for class 'vglm'
effectstars(x, p.values = FALSE, symmetric = TRUE,
  plot.parallel = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

`x`	A `vglm`-object.
`p.values`	Should the p-values of the single coefficients be included in the labels? Default is `FALSE`.
`symmetric`	Should the parameters be transformed to parameters with symmetric (sum-to-zero) side constraints instead of using reference levels. Default is `TRUE` for `multinomial`-models. If the `multinomial`-model contains object-specific covariates (`xij` argument from `vglm.control`) symmetric side constraints are not possible. In ordinal response models, no side constraints are needed and the option is obsolete.
`plot.parallel`	Should parallel parameters (equal over all response categories) be represented by effect stars. Default is `FALSE`.
`...`	further arguments for generic function `effectstars`.

Control function for effect stars.

Description

Control function to set graphical parameters for method effectstars.

Usage

star.ctrl(lwd.circle = 1, col.circle = "yellowgreen",
  lty.circle = "solid", col.fill = "yellowgreen", lwd.star = 1.5,
  cex.main = 1.5, cex.labels = 1, col.main = "black",
  col.labels = "black", col.star = "black", dist.labels = 1,
  font.labels = 1, radius = 1)
star.ctrl(lwd.circle = 1, col.circle = "yellowgreen",
  lty.circle = "solid", col.fill = "yellowgreen", lwd.star = 1.5,
  cex.main = 1.5, cex.labels = 1, col.main = "black",
  col.labels = "black", col.star = "black", dist.labels = 1,
  font.labels = 1, radius = 1)

Arguments

`lwd.circle`	Line width of circle.
`col.circle`	Color of circle, possibly a vector with one value per covariate.
`lty.circle`	Line type of circle.
`col.fill`	Color to fill the circle, possibly a vector with one value per covariate.
`lwd.star`	Line width for effect star.
`cex.main`	Size of mains.
`cex.labels`	Size of labels.
`col.main`	Color of mains.
`col.labels`	Colors of labels. Can be a vector (one value/color per category) or a even matrix (one column per category, one row per star).
`col.star`	Color of effect star.
`dist.labels`	Tuning parameter for distance of labels from effect star. Default is 1, higher values increase the distance of the labels to effect stars. Can also be specified as a vector, containing one value per star.
`font.labels`	Font type of labels. Can be a vector (one value/color per category) or a even matrix (one column per category, one row per star).
`radius`	Radius for circle. Can also be specified as a vector, containing one value per star.
