forest_plot function

Draw a forest plot for a baggr model

The forest plot functionality in baggr is a simple interface for calling the forestplot function. By default the forest plot displays raw (unpooled) estimates for groups and the treatment effect estimate underneath. This behaviour can be modified to display pooled group estimates.

forest_plot(
  bg,
  show = c("inputs", "posterior", "both", "covariates"),
  print = show,
  prob = 0.95,
  digits = 3,
  ...
)

Arguments

• bg: a baggr class object

• show: if "inputs", then plotted points and lines correspond to raw inputs for each group; if "posterior" -- to posterior distribution; you can also plot "both" inputs and posteriors; if "covariates", then fixed effect coefficients are plotted

• print: which values to print next to the plot: values of "inputs"

  or "posterior" means? (if show="covariates", it must be "posterior")

• prob: width of the intervals (lines) for the plot

• digits: number of digits to display when printing out mean and SD in the plot

• ...: other arguments passed to forestplot

Examples

bg <- baggr(schools, iter = 500)
forest_plot(bg)
forest_plot(bg, show = "posterior", print = "inputs", digits = 2)
