plot function

MCMC Diagnostics for Joint Models

Produces MCMC diagnostics plots.

## S3 method for class 'JMbayes'
plot(x, which = c("trace", "autocorr", "density", "CPO", "weightFun"), 
    param = c("betas", "sigma", "D", "gammas", "alphas", "Dalphas", 
        "shapes", "Bs.gammas", "tauBs"), ask = TRUE, max.t = NULL, 
    from = 0, ...)

Arguments

• x: an object inheriting from class JMbayes.
• which: which types of plots to produce.
• param: for which parameter to produce the MCMC diagnostic plots; default is for all parameters.
• ask: logical, if TRUE the user is asked for input, before a new figure is drawn.
• max.t: numeric scalar; up to which time point to plot the weight function, default is up to the third quantile of the observed event times.
• from: numeric scalar; from which time point to start plotting the weight function, default is zero.
• ...: additional arguments; currently none is used.

Examples

## Not run:

# linear mixed model fit
fitLME <- lme(log(serBilir) ~ drug * year, random = ~ 1 | id, data = pbc2)

# survival regression fit
fitSURV <- coxph(Surv(years, status2) ~ drug, data = pbc2.id, x = TRUE)

# joint model fit, under the (default) Weibull model
fitJOINT <- jointModelBayes(fitLME, fitSURV, timeVar = "year")

plot(fitJOINT)
## End(Not run)
