## Mixed-Effects Profile Plots (Regular / Density / Pairs)

### Description

Xyplot, Densityplot, and Pairs plot methods for a mixed-effects model profile.

`xyplot()` draws “zeta diagrams”, also visualizing confidence intervals and their asymmetry.

`densityplot()` draws the profile densities.

`splom()` draws profile pairs plots. Contours are for the marginal two-dimensional regions (i.e. using df = 2).

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'thpr'
    xyplot(x, data = NULL,
           levels = sqrt(qchisq(pmax.int(0, pmin.int(1, conf)), df = 1)),
           conf = c(50, 80, 90, 95, 99)/100,
           absVal = FALSE, scales=NULL,
           which = 1:nptot, ...)

    ## S3 method for class 'thpr'
    densityplot(x, data, ...)

    ## S3 method for class 'thpr'
    splom(x, data,
          levels = sqrt(qchisq(pmax.int(0, pmin.int(1, conf)), 2)),
          conf = c(50, 80, 90, 95, 99)/100,  which = 1:nptot,
          draw.lower = TRUE, draw.upper = TRUE, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | a mixed-effects profile, i.e., of class `"thpr"`, typically resulting from `profile(fm)` where `fm` is a fitted model from `lmer` (or its generalizations).
`data` | unused - only for compatibility with generic.
`levels` | the contour levels to be shown; usually derived from `conf`.
`conf` | numeric vector of confidence levels to be shown as contours.
`absVal` | logical indicating if `abs(.)`olute values should be plotted, often preferred for confidence interval visualization.
`scales` | plotting options to be passed to `xyplot`
`which` | integer or character vector indicating which parameters to profile: default is all parameters (see `profile-methods` for details).
`draw.lower` | (logical) draw lower-triangle (zeta scale) panels?
`draw.upper` | (logical) draw upper-triangle (standard dev/cor scale) panels?
`...` | further arguments passed to `xyplot`, `densityplot`, or `splom` from package lattice, respectively.

### Value

xyplot:

  a density plot, a `"trellis"` object (lattice package) which when `print()`ed produces plots on the current graphic device.

densityplot:

  a density plot, a `"trellis"` object, see above.

splom:

  a pairs plot, aka scatterplot matrix, a `"trellis"` object, see above.

### See Also

`profile`, notably for an example.
