S4 class methods plotting sample MCF from data, estimated MCF, or estimated
baseline hazard rate function from a fitted model by using ggplot2
plotting system. The plots generated are thus able to be further customized
properly.
Usage
# S4 method for class 'mcf.formula,missing'
plot(
x,
y,
lty,
col,
legendName,
legendLevels,
conf.int = FALSE,
mark.time = FALSE,
addOrigin = FALSE,
...
)
# S4 method for class 'mcf.rateReg,missing'
plot(x, y, conf.int = FALSE, lty, col, ...)
# S4 method for class 'baseRate.rateReg,missing'
plot(x, y, conf.int = FALSE, lty, col, ...)
# S4 method for class 'mcfDiff,missing'
plot(
x,
y,
lty,
col,
legendName,
legendLevels,
conf.int = TRUE,
addOrigin = FALSE,
...
)Arguments
- x
An object used to dispatch a method.
- y
An argument that should be missing and ignored now. Its existence is just for satisfying the definition of generaic function
plotin packagegraphicsfor methods' dispatching.- lty
An optional numeric vector indicating line types specified to different groups: 0 = blank, 1 = solid, 2 = dashed, 3 = dotted, 4 = dotdash, 5 = longdash, 6 = twodash.
- col
An optional character vector indicating line colors specified to different groups.
- legendName
An optional length-one charactor vector to specify the name for grouping each unique row in
newdata, such as "gender" for "male" and "female". The default value is generated from theobject.- legendLevels
An optional charactor vector to specify the levels for each unique row in
newdata, such as "treatment" and "control". The default values are generated from theobject.- conf.int
A logical value indicating whether to plot confidence interval. The default value is
FALSE.- mark.time
A logical value with default value
FALSE. IfTRUE, each censoring time is marked by "+" on the MCF curves. Otherwise, the censoring time would not be marked.- addOrigin
A logical value indicating whether the MCF curves start from origin time. The default value is
FALSE.- ...
