Plot Adjusted vs. Unadjusted Data for Health Indicators

Source: R/plot.adjustment_values.R
plot.cd_adjustment_values.Rd

plot.cd_adjustment_values creates a bar plot to compare the unadjusted (raw) and adjusted values of health indicators over time. It allows users to specify the indicator prefix and customize legend labels for flexibility across different health data.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'cd_adjustment_values'
plot(x, indicator = NULL, title = NULL, legend_labels = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x

A data frame containing the year column and columns for the raw and adjusted values of health indicators (e.g., ideliv_raw, ideliv_adj).

indicator

A character string specifying the prefix of the indicator to plot (e.g., "ideliv"). Only the provided indicators will be plotted.

title

A character string for the plot title. If NULL, a default title based on the indicator is generated.

legend_labels

A character vector of length 2 specifying custom labels for the legend. The first element is used for the unadjusted (raw) data, and the second element is for the adjusted data. If NULL, default labels ("N of indicator before adjustment" and "N of indicator after adjustment") are generated.

...

Additional arguments (currently not used).

Value

A ggplot2 object showing the comparison of unadjusted and adjusted data for the specified indicator over time.

Details

This function helps visualize the difference between raw and adjusted values of a given health indicator, aiding in the assessment of data completeness and adjustments. The difference and percentage difference are calculated within the function but are not directly shown on the plot. Instead, the plot shows the actual unadjusted and adjusted values side-by-side for each year.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
  # Using default legend labels and title
  plot.cd_adjustment_values(adjustments, indicator = "ideliv")

  # Custom legend labels and title
  plot.cd_adjustment_values(adjustments, indicator = "instlivebirths",
                            title = "Customized Title",
                            legend_labels = c("Original", "Modified"))
} # }
