Plot moving average — plot_convergence • pacheck

This function plots the moving average of a outcome variable

Usage

plot_convergence(
  df,
  outcome,
  block_size = 500,
  conv_limit = 0,
  breaks = NULL,
  variance = FALSE
)

Arguments

df: a dataframe.
outcome: character string. Name of variable of the dataframe for which to plot the moving average.
block_size: numeric. Define the number of iterations at which the mean outcome has to be defined and plotted.
conv_limit: numeric. Define the convergence limit, under which the relative change between block of iterations should lie.
breaks: numeric. Number of iterations at which the breaks should be placed on the plot. Default is NULL, hence a tenth of the length of the vector `outcome` is used.
variance: logical. Determine whether the variance of the vector should be plotted instead of the mean. Default is FALSE.

Value

A ggplot graph.

Examples

# Checking the moving average of the incremental QALYs using the example data.
data(df_pa)
plot_convergence(df = df_pa,
                 outcome = "inc_qaly"
                 )
