Thanks Jared, actually, newNames worked well for, I don’t know why I didn’t do it the way you specified. It would be nice to have an example like this in the documentation, although it’s pretty straightforward. I posted “feature request” in regard to black and white print graphs on github. With the black and white option added, the package would be even more usable than it is now, I think. Thanks once again!

Hey, sorry for not responding, I didn’t realize you werre posting again. I need to check for comments more often.

For sorting by size you should use sort=”magnitude”. Maybe I’ll add size back into the mix and it will do the same thing.

Not sure how to sort by significance. I assume you mean by p-value or t-statistic, but there are philosophical problems with that as most statisticians believe that p-values do not reflect one importance over the other. I could offer a p-value sort (not calling it significance) but a lot of models don’t report p-values.

Not sure what is wrong with newNames. Did you provide a named vector as in c(OldName1=”NewName1″, OldName2=”NewName2″, OldName3=”NewName3″)? If that doesn’t work please make a github issue with an example.

That’s a good notion about shape. Using the code you sent won’t work because it needs to be an aes inside geom_point. Can you add an issue to the github page as a reminder for me?

Is there a way to change points of the coefficients to differentiate between models? The reason I’m asking is that in black and white journal publications the color difference between the models is not very helpful.

I tried coefplot.object + scale_shape_manual(values=c(0,5,6), but it doesn’t seem to work.

Changing variables’ names does not seem to work. Since variables often have strange names, it would be nice to have this opportunity to use “newNames” to assign names.

The devel version works very well, thank you! Quickly looked at it and found that sort=”size” produces an error. Also, is there a way to sort the variables by significance? It’d really be impressive, I think, to have them sorted by significance. I tried “sort” and “decrease” options, but they don’t seem to produce what I would expect. In any case, the package is an amazing piece of work! Thank you, once again.

For plotting multiple models at once you can use multiplot. I haven’t tried it with different types of models, but it works really well for multiple models of the same time but with different parameters.

I would get the devel version which has been massively upgraded by running

devtools::install_github(“coefplot”, “jaredlander”, ref=”refactor”)

Actually, I seem to have figured out how to use this function with coefficients. Thank you!

This is really cool way of presenting regression results. The package coefplot has worked really well with lm and glm objects in my experience. Thank you, great job! I guess I have a feature request, though:)

When I come across more elaborate models, such as ordinal regression, Bayesian, etc., coefplot doesn’t seem to work with their outputs. There is this generic function to create coefplots, but it allows for creation only one model at a time. It would be really great if coefplot package accepted dataframes or matrices of coefficients that are known, even if the package does not support every model that exists there.

Maffei’s Pizza – Excellent pizza (both thin and thick crust)!

We’ll have to make sure you get some next time.
