Plot estimates with confidence limits
}
\description{
Plots parameter estimates with confidence intervals, annotated with
parameter names. A dot is plotted at the estimate and a horizontal
line extending from the lower to the upper limit is superimposed.
}
\usage{
plotEst( ests,
y = dim(ests)[1]:1,
txt = rownames(ests),
txtpos = y,
ylim = range(y)-c(0.5,0),
xlab = "",
xtic = nice(ests[!is.na(ests)], log = xlog),
xlim = range( xtic ),
xlog = FALSE,
pch = 16,
cex = 1,
lwd = 2,
col = "black",
col.lines = col,
col.points = col,
vref = NULL,
grid = FALSE,
col.grid = gray(0.9),
restore.par = TRUE )
linesEst( ests, y = dim(ests)[1]:1, pch = 16, cex = 1, lwd = 2,
col="black", col.lines=col, col.points=col )
pointsEst( ests, y = dim(ests)[1]:1, pch = 16, cex = 1, lwd = 2,
col="black", col.lines=col, col.points=col )
}
\arguments{
\item{ests}{Matrix with three columns: Estimate, lower limit, upper
limit. If a model object is supplied, \code{\link{ci.lin}} is
invoked for this object first.}
\item{y}{Vertical position of the lines.}
\item{txt}{Annotation of the estimates.}
\item{txtpos}{Vertical position of the text. Defaults to \code{y}.}
\item{ylim}{Extent of the vertical axis.}
\item{xlab}{Annotation of the horizontal axis.}
\item{xtic}{Location of tickmarks on the x-axis.}
\item{xlim}{Extent of the x-axis.}
\item{xlog}{Should the x-axis be logarithmic?}
\item{pch}{What symbol should be used?}
\item{cex}{Expansion of the symbol.}
\item{col}{Colour of the points and lines.}
\item{col.lines}{Colour of the lines.}
\item{col.points}{Colour of the symbol.}
\item{lwd}{Thickness of the lines.}
\item{vref}{Where should vertical reference line(s) be drawn?}
\item{grid}{If TRUE, vertical gridlines are drawn at the
tickmarks. If a numerical vector is given vertical lines are drawn
at \code{grid}.}
\item{col.grid}{Colour of the vertical gridlines}
\item{restore.par}{Should the graphics parameters be restored? If set
to \code{FALSE} the coordinate system will still be available for
additional plotting, and \code{par("mai")} will still have the very
large value set in order to make room for the labelling of the
estimates.}

\details{
\code{plotEst} make a news plot, whereas \code{linesEst} and
\code{pointsEst} (identical functions) adds to an existing plot.
