This plot method can be applied to PseudoDualSimulationsSummary objects in order to summarize them graphically. Possible type of plots at the moment are those listed in plot,PseudoSimulationsSummary,missing-method plus:

You can specify any subset of these in the type argument.

Usage

# S4 method for class 'PseudoDualSimulationsSummary,missing'
plot(
  x,
  y,
  type = c("nObs", "doseSelected", "propDLE", "nAboveTargetEndOfTrial", "meanFit",
    "meanEffFit"),
  ...
)

Arguments

x

the PseudoDualSimulationsSummary object we want to plot from

y

missing

type

the types of plots you want to obtain.

...

not used

Value

A single ggplot object if a single plot is asked for, otherwise a gridExtra{gTree} object.

Examples
