The Strucplot Framework: Visualizing Multi-way Contingency Tables with vcd
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper has been published in the Journal of Statistical Software (Meyer, Zeileis, and Hornik 2006) and describes the “strucplot” framework for the visualization of multiway contingency tables. Strucplot displays include hierarchical conditional plots such as mosaic, association, and sieve plots, and can be combined into more complex, specialized plots for visualizing conditional independence, GLMs, and the results of independence tests. The framework’s modular design allows flexible customization of the plots’ graphical appearance, including shading, labeling, spacing, and legend, by means of “graphical appearance control” functions. The framework is provided by the R package vcd.

Partial Association Components in Multi-way Contingency Tables and Their Statistiical Analysis
In analyses of contingency tables made up of categorical variables, the study of relationship between the variables is usually the major objective. So far, many association measures and association models have been used to measure the association structure present in the table. Although the association measures merely determine the degree of strength of association between the study varia...
متن کاملVisualizing Independence Using Extended Association Plots
Association plots—a visualization technique for the independence problem in 2-way contingency tables—are extended in three directions: 1. The visualization is enhanced by using colors for the importance of the residuals. 2. The implementation currently available in R is improved using a more modular design and allowing a more flexible specification of plotting parameters. 3. Two methods for the...
متن کاملVisualizing Independence Using Extended Association and Mosaic Plots
Two visualization techniques for the independence problem in 2-way contingency tables—assocation and mosaic plots—are extended in two directions: 1. The visualization is enhanced by displaying the significance of an appropriate test for independence and by using improved color schemes. 2. The implementation in the R system is improved using a more modular design and allowing for more flexible s...
متن کاملResidual-based Shadings for Visualizing (Conditional) Independence
Residual-based shadings for enhancing mosaic and association plots to visualize independence models for contingency tables are extended in two directions: (a) perceptually uniform Hue-Chroma-Luminance (HCL) colors are used and (b) the result of an associated significance test is coded by the appearance of color in the visualization. For obtaining (a), a general strategy for deriving diverging p...
متن کاملDecompositions of Marginal Homogene- Ity Model Using Cumulative Logistic Models for Multi-way Contingency Tables
• For square contingency tables with ordered categories, Agresti (1984, 2002) considered the marginal cumulative logistic (ML) model, which is an extension of the marginal homogeneity (MH) model. Miyamoto, Niibe and Tomizawa (2005) proposed the conditional marginal cumulative logistic (CML) model which is defined off the main diagonal cells, and gave the decompositions of the MH model using the...
