spatsurv (version 2.0)

reconstruct.bs.mcmcspatsurv: reconstruct.bs.mcmcspatsurv function

Description

When bs(varname) has been used in the formula of a model, this function can be used to reconstruct the posterior relative risk of that parameter over time.

Usage

# S3 method for mcmcspatsurv
reconstruct.bs(
  mod,
  varname,
  probs = c(0.025, 0.975),
  bw = FALSE,
  xlab = NULL,
  ylab = NULL,
  plot = TRUE,
  ...
)

Value

median, upper and lower confidence bands for the effect of varname over time; the funciton also produces a plot.

Arguments

mod

model output, created by function survspat

varname

name of the variable modelled by a B-spline

probs

upper and lower quantiles for confidence regions to plot> The default is c(0.025,0.975).

bw

Logical. Plot in black/white/greyscale? Default is to produce a colour plot. Useful for producing plots for journals that do not accept colour plots.

xlab

label for x axis, there is a sensible default

ylab

label for y axis, there is a sensible default

plot

logical, whether to plot the effect of varname over time

...

other arguments to be passed to the plotting function.
