R: Box-and-whisker plot of amputed and non-amputed data

bwplot.mads {mice} | R Documentation

## Box-and-whisker plot of amputed and non-amputed data

### Description

Plotting method to investigate the relation between the data variables and the amputed data. The function shows how the amputed values are related to the variable values.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'mads'
    bwplot(
      x,
      data,
      which.pat = NULL,
      standardized = TRUE,
      descriptives = TRUE,
      layout = NULL,
      ...
    )

### Arguments

`x` | A `mads` (`mads-class`) object, typically created by `ampute`.
`data` | A string or vector of variable names that needs to be plotted. As a default, all variables will be plotted.
`which.pat` | A scalar or vector indicating which patterns need to be plotted. As a default, all patterns are plotted.
`standardized` | Logical. Whether the box-and-whisker plots need to be created from standardized data or not. Default is TRUE.
`descriptives` | Logical. Whether the mean, variance and n of the variables need to be printed. This is useful to examine the effect of the amputation. Default is TRUE.
`layout` | A vector of two values indicating how the boxplots of one pattern should be divided over the plot. For example, `c(2, 3)` indicates that the boxplots of six variables need to be placed on 3 rows and 2 columns. Default is 1 row and an amount of columns equal to #variables. Note that for more than 6 variables, multiple plots will be created automatically.
`...` | Not used, but for consistency with generic

### Value

A list containing the box-and-whisker plots. Note that a new pattern will always be shown in a new plot.

### Note

The `mads` object contains all the information you need to make any desired plots. Check `mads-class` or the vignette Multivariate Amputation using Ampute to understand the contents of class object `mads`.
