gamlss (version 5.1-4)

plot2way: Function to plot two interaction in a GAMLSS model

Description

This function is designed to plot a factor to factor interaction in a GAMLSS model.

Usage

plot2way(obj, terms = list(), what = c("mu", "sigma", "nu", "tau"), 
        parameter= NULL, show.legend = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

obj

A gamlss model

terms

this should be a character vector with the names of the two factors to be plotted

what

which parameters? mu, sigma, nu, or tau

parameter

equivalent to what

show.legend

whether to show the legend in the two way plot

…

Further arguments

Value

The function creates a 2 way interaction plot

Details

This is an experimental function which should be use with prudence since no other check is done on whether this interaction interfere with other terms in the model
