Per-Term CI Method Comparison Figures

Source: R/simulations.R
simCompareMethodsFigures.Rd

Reads simulation summary tables from multiple output directories (one per CI method) and produces PDF figures comparing CI methods across sample sizes. For each (model type x variance estimator x table) combination two PDFs are saved: an estimator comparison (Bias, MSE) and a CI comparison (SE calibration, coverage, width).

Usage

simCompareMethodsFigures(
  output.dirs = c(Bootstrap = "resiBootSim", Normal = "resiAsympNormalSim", QF =
    "resiAsympQFSim", CF = "resiAsympCFSim"),
  figures.dir = NULL,
  alpha = 0.05,
  fixed.knots = FALSE
)

Arguments

output.dirs

Named character vector mapping CI method labels to their simulation output directories. Default: c(boot = "resiBootSim", normal = "resiAsympNormalSim", qf = "resiAsympQFSim", cf = "resiAsympCFSim"). Directories that do not exist are silently skipped.

figures.dir

Character, directory where comparison figures are saved. Default: file.path(output.dirs[1], "figures", "method_comparison").

alpha

Numeric, nominal CI level used for coverage reference lines. Default 0.05.

fixed.knots

Logical. Must match the value used in the original insurancePlasmodeSim call. Default FALSE.

Value

Invisibly returns the combined summary data.frame. Saves estimator_<model>_<vcov>_<table>.pdf, compare_<model>_<vcov>_<table>.pdf, and covquant_<model>_<vcov>_<table>.pdf to figures.dir.
