Hello.
I have 5 measurement points, my dependent variable is ordinal (0 - 3), and
I want to visualize my data. I'm pretty new to R.
What I want is to find out whether people with different baseline
covariates have different trajectories, so I want a plot with the means
trajectory of my dependent variable (the individual points do not make a
lot of sense in ordinal data) on each measurement point per group, e.g.
females vs. males.
I found different codes, but they don't work well for me. This one looks
promising, though:
> xyplot(phq4 ~ time, data = data, type = 'l',
> panel=function(...){
> panel.xyplot(...)
> panel.loess(...,fun=mean,horizontal=FALSE,col='red',lwd=3)
> }
> )
Works and gives me the mean trajectory (I think), but also the individual
trajectories (so I'd like to get rid of them). Also, I would need a way to
build 2 trajectories in 2 graphs ("group=gender" only gives 1 mean
trajectory), + standard deviations or something similar that makes sense as
a measure of variance.
Thanks
