Minor Changes

• Fixes warnings generated from the ggplot2 3.5.0 release.

• Small adjustment to size of point geoms for check_model() plots.

• More arguments to change base font sizes and geom sizes are now passed to downstream plot-functions (i.e., plot() for check_model() passes arguments to change geom sizes to the underlying plot-functions).

• plot() for check_predictions() now supports Bayesian regression models from brms and rstanarm.

Bug fixes

• Corrected order of models for plot.compare_parameters().

see 0.8.3

CRAN release: 2024-03-24

Major changes

• plot() for check_model() was revised and now includes more accurate Q-Q plots for non-Gaussian models.

Minor Changes

• plot.check_model() now passes arguments size_point and size_line to the posterior predictive check plot.

• Minor changes regarding the latest update of ggplot2.

see 0.8.2

CRAN release: 2024-02-14

Minor Changes

• plot.n_factors() now shows a dashed line over the bars, indicating the cumulate explained variance by the number of factors.

• plot.check_outliers() now dodges the x-axis labels, to avoid overlapping labels.

see 0.8.1

CRAN release: 2023-11-03

Major Changes

• This release changes the licensing model of see to an MIT license.

New features

• There is now a plot() method for outputs of datawizard::data_tabulate() (#293).

Minor Changes

• The print() method for performance::check_model() now also evaluates the default plot type for posterior predictive checks.

• QQ/PP-plots now default to drawing simultaneous testing bands (when the qqplotr package is available). Previous behavior can be restored by setting method = "pointwise".

• Plot method for performance::check_normality() now default to a detrended QQ-plot. Previous behavior can be restored by setting type = "density".

• Plot method for binned_residuals() gains a show_smooth argument, to show or hide the smooth line.

• Plot method for check_predictions() gains a x_limits argument, to limit the x-axis-range. This can be useful to “zoom in” certain parts of the plot.

see 0.8.0

CRAN release: 2023-06-05

Major Changes

• plot() for performance::check_model() no longer produces a normal QQ plot for GLMs. Instead, it now shows a half-normal QQ plot of the absolute value of the standardized deviance residuals.

• plot() for performance::check_model() and performance::check_predictions() gains a type argument, to either create density plots, or discrete dots resp. interval plots for posterior predictive checks.

• plot() for performance::check_model() gains an n_column argument, to define the number of columns for the diagnostic plots (by default, two columns).

• plot() for performance::check_model() sometimes failed to create the plot under certain conditions, e.g. when the screen or app windows was zoomed-in. If an error occurs, a much more informative error message is shown, providing several possible solutions to resolve this problem.

• plot() for parameters::equivalence_test() now aligns the labelling with the print() method. Hence, the legend title is no longer labelled "Decision on H0", but rather "Equivalence", to emphasize that we can assume practical equivalence for effects, but that we cannot accept the H0 (in a frequentist framework).

• Added some examples and cross references between docs. Furthermore, a vignette about plotting functions for the datawizard package was added.

Bug fixes

• Fixed issue with duplicated legend in the plot() method for performance::check_predictions().

• Fixes issue in plot.binned_residuals() for models whose residuals were completely inside error bounds.

• plot() now works when using it on the output of describe_distribution() with a select argument of length 1.

see 0.7.5

CRAN release: 2023-03-23

Changes

• Changed the default “yellow” color in palette_okabeito() to "#F5C710" instead of "#F0E442" to increase visibility against a white background. For the original Okabe-Ito palette, set palette = "full_original" or palette = "black_first_original".

• Deals with deprecated arguments and functions in recent ggplot2 updates.

see 0.7.4

CRAN release: 2022-11-25

Changes

• Updates docs and tests for ggplot2 release (3.4.0).

• New function scale_color_colorhex() provides color scales based on palettes from https://www.color-hex.com (#245).

• The default for the smoothing bandwidth from plot.check_predictions() has changed from "nrd0" to "nrd", which seems to produce better fitting plots for non-Gaussian models. Furthermore, performance::check_predictions() accepts a bw argument (smoothing bandwidth), which is passed down to the plot() method’s density-estimation.

Bug fixes

• Fixed issues with plot() for check_outliers() for models with convergence issues.

see 0.7.3

changes

• Plot for SEM models now has arrows pointing from the latent variables towards the manifest variables.

• The check_heteroscedasticity() plot contains a dashed horizontal line, which makes it to assess the homoscedasticity assumption.

• The y-axis label for check_collinearity() plot clarifies that the measure being plotted is VIF. This was unclear when this plot was embedded in a grid of plots from check_model() containing multiple checks.

• Plotting methods for performance_roc() and performance_accuracy() show correct labels now.

Bug fixes

• Fixed issue with wrong labelling of CI-levels for plot.see_hdi().

• The ... argument for geom_violindot() is now also passed to to geom_violinhalf(), allowing, e.g., to change the alpha value of the violin-geoms as well.

Bug fixes

• plot() for performance::check_normality() shows more accurate QQ-plots.

• plot() for performance::check_normality() show correct confidence bands for QQ- and PP-plots (with qqplotr). Previous bands were extremely narrow!

Changes to functions

see 0.3.0
