CIBERlite — CIBERlite • behaviorchange

CIBERlite plots can be used to quickly get an idea of means and correlations of a small number of determinants. They were developed to facilitate conducting and interpreting determinant studies by prevention professionals.

CIBERlite(
  data,
  determinants,
  targets,
  determinantOrder = NULL,
  determinantLabels = NULL,
  subDeterminantLabels = NULL,
  title = NULL,
  conf.level = 0.95,
  scaleRange = NULL,
  determinantAesthetics = list(fill = "black", color = NA, alpha = 0.5),
  subDeterminantAesthetics = list(fill = "black", color = NA, alpha = 0.5),
  rDiamondAesthetics = list(fill = "#c4c4c4", color = NA, alpha = 0.75)
)

Arguments

data: The dataframe containing the variables.
determinants: Either a character vector with the names of the determinants, or a list of named character vectors, where each vector contains a number of subdeterminants, and each vector's name is the name of the more proximal determinant (i.e. that 'contains' those subdeterminants).
targets: A character vector with the names of the targets (i.e. more proximal determinants, behavior, etc).
determinantOrder: The order in which to display the determinants (if this needs to be different from the order as provided in determinants).
determinantLabels: The labels to use for the determinants.
subDeterminantLabels: The labels to use for the subdeterminants.
title: The title of the plot.
conf.level: The confidence levels: a list with two named values; the confidence level for the means, named means, and the confidence level for the associations, named associations.
scaleRange: The full range of the scale of the determinants/subdeterminants; the minimum and maximum values are used if this is not provided.
determinantAesthetics, subDeterminantAesthetics, rDiamondAesthetics: The aesthetics for the determinants, subdeterminants, and correlation diamonds, each a list containing three named values: fill, color, and alpha.

Value

A ggplot.
