fittedPlot: Plots The Fitted Values of a GAMLSS Model

Description

This function, applicable only to a models with a single explanatory variable, plots the fitted values for all the parameters of a GAMLSS model against the (one) explanatory variable. It is also useful for comparing the fits for more than one model.

Usage

fittedPlot(object, ..., x = NULL, color = TRUE, line.type = FALSE, xlab = NULL)

Value

A plot of the fitted values against the explanatory variable

Arguments

object

a fitted GAMLSS model object(with only one explanatory variable)

...

optionally more fitted GAMLSS model objects

x

The unique explanatory variable

color

whether the fitted lines plots are shown in colour, color=TRUE (the default) or not color=FALSE

line.type

whether the line type should be different or not. The default is color=FALSE

xlab

the x-label
