plotscore: Plot of the standardized score process

Description

The function plots the standardized score process. This process is a list resulting of a call to the function standscore.

Usage

plotscore(s, printCB = FALSE , component.num = 1:dim(s[[1]])[2], 
main = "" , xlab = "Time", ylab = "Standardized score", ylim)

Arguments

s

A list resulting from a call to the function standscore which corresponds to the standardized score process and, possibly, its confidence bands.

printCB

Set printCB = TRUE for plotting the confidence bands. Default is printCB = FALSE.

component.num

A vector of length equals to or lower than the number of covariates. It indicates which components of the process to plot. For example, set component.num=c(2,3) for plotting the second and third components. By default, all components are plotted.

main,xlab,ylab,ylim

Usual arguments for plotting. See help(plot).
