Failure Distribution Plot

DESCRIPTION:

Plot parametric failure distributions for given covariate values.

USAGE:

qqplot.censorReg.plot.quantiles(object, X, xlim, mle=T,
     mle.interval=T, upper=T, lower=T, conf.level=0.95, lty.mle=1,
     lty.interval=2, col.mle=1, col.interval=1, plot.lines=T,
     pch.data=0, col.data=0, offset=NULL)

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS:

object
an object of class "censorReg" for which quantile plots are desired.
X
a row in the design matrix for the model.
xlim
the limits on the time axis. This is the raw time to failure (prior to applying the link function). Because qqplot.censorReg.plot.quantiles does not "set up" the plot, xlim can be taken as the limits of the x-axis.

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:

mle
if T, the maximum likelihood estimate of the failure probability is displayed.
mle.interval
if T, confidence intervals for the maximum likelihood estimate of the failure probability are displayed.
upper
if T, the upper confidence limit for the maximum likelihood estimate of the failure probability is displayed.
lower
if T, the lower confidence limit for the maximum likelihood estimate of the failure probability is displayed.
conf.level
the level of confidence (should be a probability) to be used in the confidence limits.
lty.mle
the line type for the maximum likelihood estimate.
lty.interval
the line type for the confidence intervals.
col.mle
the line color for the maximum likelihood estimate.
col.interval
the line color for the confidence interval lines.
plot.lines
if T, the maximum likelihood estimate is displayed as a line. Otherwise, it is displayed as a series of points.
pch.data
if plot.line is F, the pch parameter for plotting the points.
col.data
if plot.lines is F, the col parameter for plotting the points.
offset
a vector of offsets for the observations in X.

SIDE EFFECTS::

The maximum likelihood estimate of the failure probability and associated confidence intervals are displayed on the active graphics device.

DETAILS:

qqplot.censorReg.plot.quantiles is used after the axies on the active device have been set up using qqplot.censorReg.setup .
