Plot a design-simulation study

Usage

# S3 method for class 'mfrm_design_evaluation'
plot(
  x,
  facet = c("Rater", "Criterion", "Person"),
  metric = c("separation", "reliability", "infit", "outfit", "misfitrate",
    "severityrmse", "severitybias", "convergencerate", "elapsedsec", "mincategorycount",
    "designdensity", "plannedmissingrate", "linkpersons", "linkfraction", "linkraters",
    "mincommonpersons", "zerocommonpairs", "pairsshorttarget"),
  x_var = c("n_person", "n_rater", "n_criterion", "raters_per_person"),
  group_var = NULL,
  draw = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x

Output from evaluate_mfrm_design().

facet

Facet to visualize.

metric

Metric to plot.

x_var

Design variable used on the x-axis. When x was generated from a sim_spec with custom public facet names, the corresponding aliases (for example n_judge, n_task, judge_per_person) are also accepted. Role keywords (person, rater, criterion, assignment) are accepted as an abstraction over the current two-facet schema.

group_var

Optional design variable used for separate lines. The same alias rules as x_var apply.

draw

If TRUE, draw with base graphics; otherwise return plotting data.

...

Reserved for generic compatibility.

Value

Invisibly, a ggplot object whose reusable payload (accessible via plot_data()) includes resolved canonical variables (x_var, group_var) together with public labels (x_label, group_label), design_variable_aliases, and design_descriptor, plus planning_scope, planning_constraints, and planning_schema.

Details

This method is designed for quick design-planning scans rather than polished publication graphics.

Useful first plots are:

  • rater metric = "separation" against x_var = "n_person"

  • criterion metric = "severityrmse" against x_var = "n_person" when you want aligned recovery error rather than raw location shifts

  • rater metric = "convergencerate" against x_var = "raters_per_person"

  • sparse linked metric = "plannedmissingrate", "mincommonpersons", "zerocommonpairs", or "pairsshorttarget" to review planned missingness and rater-pair linkage separately from recovery metrics

Examples

# Supplementary workflow: run explicitly to keep routine checks brief.
# example("plot.mfrm_design_evaluation", run.dontrun = TRUE)
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# One saved replication illustrates output structure, not precise rates.
# Regeneration recipe: examples/simulation-results.R in the package.
saved <- readRDS(system.file("examples", "simulation-design.rds",
  package = "mfrmr", mustWork = TRUE))
# Inspect saved$generation_warnings and the result's run/status tables.
sim_eval <- saved$result
p <- plot(sim_eval, facet = "Rater", metric = "separation", x_var = "n_person", draw = FALSE)
pd <- plot_data(p)
c(pd$facet, pd$x_var)
} # }
