plotvglm {VGAM} | R Documentation

## Plots for VGLMs

### Description

Currently this function plots the Pearson residuals versus the linear predictors (M plots) and plots the Pearson residuals versus the hat values (M plots).

### Usage

    plotvglm(x, which = "(All)", ...)

### Arguments

`x` | An object of class `"vglm"` (see `vglm-class`) or inherits from that class.
`which` | If a subset of the plots is required, specify a subset of the numbers `1:(2*M)`. The default is to plot them all.
`...` | Arguments fed into the primitive `plot` functions.

### Details

This function is under development. Currently it plots the Pearson residuals against the predicted values (on the transformed scale) and the hat values. There are 2M plots in total, therefore users should call `par` to assign, e.g., the `mfrow` argument. Note: Section 3.7 of Yee (2015) describes the Pearson residuals and hat values for VGLMs.

### Value

Returns the object invisibly.

### Examples

    ## Not run:
    ndata <- data.frame(x2 = runif(nn <- 200))
    ndata <- transform(ndata, y1 = rnbinom(nn, mu = exp(3+x2), size = exp(1)))
    fit1 <- vglm(y1 ~ x2, negbinomial, data = ndata, trace = TRUE)
    coef(fit1, matrix = TRUE)
    par(mfrow = c(2, 2))
    plot(fit1)

    # Manually produce the four plots
    plot(fit1, which = 1, col = "blue", las = 1, main = "main1")
    abline(h = 0, lty = "dashed", col = "gray50")
    plot(fit1, which = 2, col = "blue", las = 1, main = "main2")
    abline(h = 0, lty = "dashed", col = "gray50")
    plot(fit1, which = 3, col = "blue", las = 1, main = "main3")
    plot(fit1, which = 4, col = "blue", las = 1, main = "main4")
