| vis.gam {mgcv} | R Documentation |
Produces perspective or contour plot views of gam model
predictions, fixing all but the values in view to the values supplied in cond.
vis.gam(x,view=NULL,cond=list(),n.grid=30,too.far=0,col=NA,
color="heat",contour.col=NULL,se=-1,type="link",
plot.type="persp",zlim=NULL,nCol=50,...)
x |
a |
view |
an array containing the names of the two main effect terms to be displayed on the
x and y dimensions of the plot. If omitted the first two suitable terms
will be used. Note that variables coerced to factors in the model formula won't work
as view variables, and |
cond |
a named list of the values to use for the other predictor terms
(not in |
n.grid |
The number of grid nodes in each direction used for calculating the plotted surface. |
too.far |
plot grid nodes that are too far from the points defined by the variables given in |
col |
The colours for the facets of the plot. If this is |
color |
the colour scheme to use for plots when |
contour.col |
sets the colour of contours when using |
se |
if less than or equal to zero then only the predicted surface is plotted, but if greater than zero, then 3
surfaces are plotted, one at the predicted values minus |
type |
|
plot.type |
one of |
zlim |
a two item array giving the lower and upper limits for the z-axis
scale. |
nCol |
The number of colors to use in color schemes. |
... |
other options to pass on to |
The x and y limits are determined by the ranges of the terms named in view. If se<=0 then
a single (height colour coded, by default) surface is produced, otherwise three (by default see-through) meshes are produced at
mean and +/- se standard errors. Parts of the x-y plane too far from
data can be excluded by setting too.far
All options to the underlying graphics functions can be reset by passing them
as extra arguments ...: such supplied values will always over-ride the
default values used by vis.gam.
Simply produces a plot.
The routine can not detect that a variable has been coerced to factor within a model formula,
and will therefore fail if such a variable is used as a view variable. When setting
default view variables it can not detect this situation either, which can cause failures
if the coerced variables are the first, otherwise suitable, variables encountered.
