forest.metapred function

Forest plot of a metapred fit

Forest plot of a metapred fit

Draw a forest plot of the performance of an internally-externally cross-validated model. By default the final model is shown.

## S3 method for class 'metapred' forest(object, perfFUN = 1, step = NULL, method = "REML", model = NULL, ...)

Arguments

  • object: A metapred fit object.
  • perfFUN: Numeric or character. Which performance statistic should be plotted? Defaults to the first.
  • step: Which step should be plotted? Defaults to the best step. numeric is converted to name of the step: 0 for an unchanged model, 1 for the first change...
  • method: character string specifying whether a fixed- or a random-effects model should be used to summarize the prediction model performance. A fixed-effects model is fitted when using method="FE". Random-effects models are fitted by setting method equal to one of the following: "DL", "HE", "SJ", "ML", "REML", "EB", "HS", or "GENQ". Default is "REML".
  • model: Which model change should be plotted? NULL (default, best change) or character name of variable or (integer) index of model change.
  • ...: Other arguments passed to plotting internals. E.g. title. See forest.default for details.

Examples

data(DVTipd) # Internal-external cross-validation of a pre-specified model 'f' f <- dvt ~ histdvt + ddimdich + sex + notraum fit <- metapred(DVTipd, strata = "study", formula = f, scope = f, family = binomial) # Display the model's external performance (expressed as mean squared error by default) # for each study forest(fit)
