qtplot.gumbel: Quantile Plot for Gumbel Regression

Description

Plots quantiles associated with a Gumbel model.

Usage

qtplot.gumbel(object, show.plot = TRUE,
    y.arg = TRUE, spline.fit = FALSE, label = TRUE,
    R = object@misc$R, percentiles = object@misc$percentiles,
    add.arg = FALSE, mpv = object@misc$mpv,
    xlab = NULL, ylab = "", main = "",
    pch = par()$pch, pcol.arg = par()$col,
    llty.arg = par()$lty, lcol.arg = par()$col, llwd.arg = par()$lwd,
    tcol.arg = par()$col, tadj = 1, ...)

Value

The object with a list called qtplot in the post

slot of object. (If show.plot = FALSE then just the list is returned.) The list contains components

fitted.values

The percentiles of the response, possibly including the MPV.

percentiles

The percentiles (small vector of values between 0 and 100.

Arguments

object

A VGAM extremes model of the Gumbel type, produced by modelling functions such as vglm and vgam, and with a family function that is either gumbel or gumbelff.

show.plot

Logical. Plot it? If FALSE no plot will be done.

y.arg

Logical. Add the raw data on to the plot?

spline.fit

Logical. Use a spline fit through the fitted percentiles? This can be useful if there are large gaps between some values along the covariate.

label

Logical. Label the percentiles?

R

See gumbel.

percentiles

See gumbel.

add.arg

Logical. Add the plot to an existing plot?

mpv

See gumbel.

xlab

Caption for the x-axis. See par.

ylab

Caption for the y-axis. See par.

main

Title of the plot. See title.

pch

Plotting character. See par.

pcol.arg

Color of the points. See the col argument of par.

llty.arg

Line type. Line type. See the lty argument of par.

lcol.arg

Color of the lines. See the col argument of par.

llwd.arg

Line width. See the lwd argument of par.

tcol.arg

Color of the text (if label is TRUE). See the col argument of par.

tadj

Text justification. See the adj argument of par.

...

Arguments passed into the plot function when setting up the entire plot. Useful arguments here include sub and las.

Details

There should be a single covariate such as time. The quantiles specified by percentiles are plotted.

Examples

ymat <- as.matrix(venice[, paste("r", 1:10, sep = "")])
fit1 <- vgam(ymat ~ s(year, df = 3), gumbel(R = 365, mpv = TRUE),
             data = venice, trace = TRUE, na.action = na.pass)
head(fitted(fit1))

if (FALSE)  par(mfrow = c(1, 1), bty = "l", xpd = TRUE, las = 1)
qtplot(fit1, mpv = TRUE, lcol = c(1, 2, 5), tcol = c(1, 2, 5),
       lwd = 2, pcol = "blue", tadj = 0.4, ylab = "Sea level (cm)")

qtplot(fit1, perc = 97, mpv = FALSE, lcol = 3, tcol = 3,
       lwd = 2, tadj = 0.4, add = TRUE) -> saved
head(saved@post$qtplot$fitted)
