plot.gg_partial_list: Partial variable dependence plot, operates on a `gg_partial_list` object.

Description

Generate a risk adjusted (partial) variable dependence plot. The function plots the rfsrc response variable (y-axis) against the covariate of interest (specified when creating the gg_partial_list object).

Usage

# S3 method for gg_partial_list
plot(x, points = TRUE, panel = FALSE, ...)

Value

list of ggplot objects, or a single faceted ggplot

object

Arguments

x: gg_partial_list object created from a gg_partial forest object
points: plot points (boolean) or a smooth line.
panel: should the entire list be plotted together?
...: extra arguments
