Zero-one transformation for categorical variable

Source: R/zero_one.R
zero_one.Rd

A convenience function for handling categorical response variables. Ordinarily, ggplot2 maps categorical levels to numerical values 1, 2, .... Such numerical mapping is inappropriate for logistic modeling, where we want the levels to be on a probability scale.

Usage

zero_one(x, one)

label_zero_one(P)

Arguments

x

a categorical variable

one

character string specifying the level that gets mapped to 1.

P

A ggplot2 object made by model_plot() or point_plot()

Value

A numerical vector of 0s and 1s.

Examples

Birdkeepers |>
  point_plot(zero_one(LC, one="LungCancer") ~ AG + BK, annot = "model")


Birdkeepers |>
  mutate(Condition = zero_one(LC, one = "LungCancer")) |>
  point_plot(Condition ~ AG + BK, annot = "model") |>
  label_zero_one() |>
  add_plot_labels(x="age", color = "Birdkeeper?")
#> Scale for colour is already present.
#> Adding another scale for colour, which will replace the existing scale.
