Produce a diagnostic distractor plot for an item
distractor_plot(
dataSrc,
item_id,
predicate = NULL,
legend = TRUE,
curtains = 10,
adjust = 1,
col = NULL,
...
)a connection to a dexter database or a data.frame with columns: person_id, item_id, response, item_score and optionally booklet_id
The ID of the item to plot. A separate plot will be produced for each booklet that contains the item, or an error message if the item_id is not known. Each plot contains a non-parametric regression of each possible response on the total score.
An optional expression to subset data, if NULL all data is used
logical, whether to include the legend. default is TRUE
100*the tail probability of the sum scores to be shaded. Default is 10. Set to 0 to have no curtains shown at all.
factor to adjust the smoothing bandwidth respective to the default value
vector of colors to use for plotting. The names of the vector can be responses. If the vector is not named, colors are assigned to the most frequent responses first.
further arguments to plot.
Silently, a data.frame of response categories and colors used. Potentially useful if you want to customize the legend or print it separately
Customization of title and subtitle can be done by using the arguments main and sub.
These arguments can contain references to the variables item_id, booklet_id, item_position(if available),
pvalue, rit and rir. References are made by prefixing these variables with a dollar sign. Variable names may be postfixed
with a sprintf style format string, e.g.
distractor_plot(db, main='item: $item_id', sub='Item rest correlation: $rir:.2f')
