Mosaic Displays for glmlist and loglmlist Objects

This function provides a convenient interface for viewing mosaic displays associated with a collection of glm models for frequency tables that have been stored in a glmlist or loglmlist object. You can plot either selected models individually, or mosaics for all models in an array of viewports.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'glmlist'
mosaic(x, selection, 
  panel=mosaic,
  type=c("observed", "expected"), 
  legend=ask | !missing(selection),
  main=NULL,
  ask=TRUE, graphics=TRUE, rows, cols, newpage=TRUE,
  ...)

# S3 method for class 'loglmlist'
mosaic(x, selection, 
  panel=mosaic,
  type=c("observed", "expected"), 
  legend=ask | !missing(selection),
  main=NULL,
  ask=TRUE, graphics=TRUE, rows, cols, newpage=TRUE,
  ...)

Arguments

x: a glmlist or loglmlist object
selection: the index or name of one glm or loglm object in x. If no selection is specified, a menu of models is presented or all models are plotted.
panel: a strucplot panel function, typically mosaic or sieve
type: a character string indicating whether the "observed" or the "expected" values of the table should be visualized
legend: logical: show a legend for residuals in the mosaic display(s)? The default behavior is to include a legend when only a single plot is shown, i.e., if ask is TRUE or a selection has been specified.
main: either a logical, or a vector of character strings used for plotting the main title. If main is a logical and TRUE, the name of the selected glm object is used.
ask: logical: should the function display a menu of models, when one is not specified in selection? If selection is not supplied and ask is TRUE (the default), a menu of model names is presented; if ask is FALSE, mosaics for all models are plotted in an array.
graphics: logical: use a graphic dialog box when ask=TRUE?
rows,cols: when ask=FALSE, the number of rows and columns in which to plot the mosaics.
newpage: start a new page? (only applies to ask=FALSE)
...: other arguments passed to mosaic.glm and ultimately to mosaic.

Details

Most details of the plots produced can be controlled via ... arguments as shown in some of the examples below. In particular, with panel=sieve you need to also pass gp=shading_Friendly to get a color version.

Value

Returns the result of mosaic.glm.
