Plot Model Posterior Quantiles

Creates visualizations of posterior parameter quantiles from calibration results. Generates both global parameter plots and location-specific parameter plots. Supports comparison of multiple posterior sources.

Usage

plot_model_posterior_quantiles(
  csv_files,
  output_dir = "./figures",
  plot_types = "both",
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

csv_files

Character vector of paths to posterior_quantiles.csv files from calc_model_posterior_quantiles()

output_dir

Directory to save plots (default: "./figures")

plot_types

Character vector specifying which plot types to create ("global", "location", "both"). Default: "both"

verbose

Logical, whether to print progress messages (default: TRUE)

Value

List of ggplot objects (invisibly)

Details

The function creates:

• Caterpillar plots showing median and credible intervals for each estimation type

• Separate plots for global and location-specific parameters

• Color-coded visualization by estimation type (automatically detected):

  • Prior samples (dark grey)

  • Calibration posterior (blue)

  • Other types (automatically assigned from color palette)

• Supports comparison of any number of estimation types

• Dynamically adapts to whatever types are present in the data

• Expects standardized CSV format with consistent column names

• Saves plots as PNG files in the output directory

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Single posterior file
plot_model_posterior_quantiles("posterior_quantiles.csv")

# Compare multiple sources
plot_model_posterior_quantiles(
  csv_files = c("bfrs_quantiles.csv", "other_quantiles.csv"),
  output_dir = "./comparison_plots"
)
} # }
