CIBERlite: CIBERlite

Description

CIBERlite plots can be used to quickly get an idea of means and correlations of a small number of determinants. They were developed to facilitate conducting and interpreting determinant studies by prevention professionals.

Usage

CIBERlite(
  data,
  determinants,
  targets,
  determinantOrder = NULL,
  determinantLabels = NULL,
  subDeterminantLabels = NULL,
  title = NULL,
  conf.level = 0.95,
  scaleRange = NULL,
  determinantAesthetics = list(fill = "black", color = NA, alpha = 0.5),
  subDeterminantAesthetics = list(fill = "black", color = NA, alpha = 0.5),
  rDiamondAesthetics = list(fill = "#c4c4c4", color = NA, alpha = 0.75)
)

Value

A ggplot.

Arguments

data

The dataframe containing the variables.

determinants

Either a character vector with the names of the determinants, or a list of named character vectors, where each vector contains a number of subdeterminants, and each vector's name is the name of the more proximal determinant (i.e. that 'contains' those subdeterminants).

targets

A character vector with the names of the targets (i.e. more proximal determinants, behavior, etc).

determinantOrder

The order in which to display the determinants (if this needs to be different from the order as provided in determinants).

determinantLabels

The labels to use for the determinants.

subDeterminantLabels

The labels to use for the subdeterminants.

title

The title of the plot.

conf.level

The confidence levels: a list with two named values; the confidence level for the means, named means, and the confidence level for the associations, named associations.

scaleRange

The full range of the scale of the determinants/subdeterminants; the minimum and maximum values are used if this is not provided.

determinantAesthetics, subDeterminantAesthetics, rDiamondAesthetics

The aesthetics for the determinants, subdeterminants, and correlation diamonds, each a list containing three named values: fill, color, and alpha.

More details will be provided in a forthcoming paper; until then, see https://CIBERlite.com
