data-combined-plotting.RmdIntroduction
You have already seen how the DataCombined class can be utilized to store observed and/or simulated data (if not, read Working with DataCombined class).
Let’s first create a DataCombined object, which we will use to demonstrate different visualizations available.
library(ospsuite)
# simulated data
simFilePath <- system.file("extdata", "Aciclovir.pkml", package = "ospsuite")
sim <- loadSimulation(simFilePath)
simResults <- runSimulation(sim)
outputPath <- "Organism|PeripheralVenousBlood|Aciclovir|Plasma (Peripheral Venous Blood)"
# observed data
obsData <- lapply(
c("ObsDataAciclovir_1.pkml", "ObsDataAciclovir_2.pkml", "ObsDataAciclovir_3.pkml"),
function(x) loadDataSetFromPKML(system.file("extdata", x, package = "ospsuite"))
)
names(obsData) <- lapply(obsData, function(x) x$name)
myDataCombined <- DataCombined$new()
myDataCombined$addSimulationResults(
simulationResults = simResults,
quantitiesOrPaths = outputPath,
groups = "Aciclovir PVB"
)
myDataCombined$addDataSets(
obsData$`Vergin 1995.Iv`,
groups = "Aciclovir PVB"
)Time profile plots
Time profile plots visualize measured or simulated values against time and help assess if the observed data (represented by symbols and error bars) match the simulated data (represented by lines).
plotIndividualTimeProfile(myDataCombined)
Observed versus simulated scatter plot
Observed versus simulated plots allow to assess how far simulated results are from observed values.
plotObservedVsSimulated(myDataCombined)
The identity line represents perfect correspondence of simulated values with the observed ones. By default, a “two-fold” range is marked by the dashed lines. The “x-fold” range is defined as values that are x-fold higher and 1/x-fold lower than the observed ones. The user can specify multiple ranges by the foldDistance argument.
plotObservedVsSimulated(myDataCombined, foldDistance = c(1.3, 2))
Residuals versus time or vs simulated scatter plot
Residual plots show if there is a systematic bias in simulated values either in high-concentration or low-concentration regions, or, alternatively, in early or late time periods.
plotResidualsVsSimulated(myDataCombined)
plotResidualsVsTime(myDataCombined)
Customizing plots
The look and feel for plots can be customized using the DefaultPlotConfiguration class, which provides various class members that can be used to modify the appearance of the plot.
myPlotConfiguration <- DefaultPlotConfiguration$new()
# Define x units
myPlotConfiguration$xUnit <- ospUnits$Time$s
# Define y units
myPlotConfiguration$yUnit <- ospUnits$`Concentration [mass]`$`µg/l`
# Change y axis scaling to logarithmic
myPlotConfiguration$yAxisScale <- tlf::Scaling$log
myPlotConfiguration$title <- "Example: Customizing a Plot"
myPlotConfiguration$subtitle <- "Using `DefaultPlotConfiguration` class"
myPlotConfiguration$caption <- "Source: `Aciclovir` data"
myPlotConfiguration$legendPosition <- tlf::LegendPositions$outsideRightThis configuration class can be passed to all plotting functions:
plotIndividualTimeProfile(myDataCombined, myPlotConfiguration)
Creating multi-panel plots
Each of the plotXXX() returns a ggplot2 object. Lets create different plots from the same DataCombined and store them as variables.
indivProfile <- plotIndividualTimeProfile(myDataCombined, myPlotConfiguration)
obsVsSim <- plotObservedVsSimulated(myDataCombined, myPlotConfiguration)
resVsSim <- plotResidualsVsSimulated(myDataCombined)
resVsTime <- plotResidualsVsTime(myDataCombined)These plots can be combined into a multi-panel figure using the PlotGridConfiguration and then used with plotGrid() function to create a figure.
plotGridConfiguration <- PlotGridConfiguration$new()
plotGridConfiguration$tagLevels <- "a"
plotGridConfiguration$title <- "Multiple plots in one figure"
plotGridConfiguration$addPlots(plots = list(indivProfile, obsVsSim, resVsSim, resVsTime))
plotGrid(plotGridConfiguration)
The function will try to arrange the panels such that the number of rows equals to the number of colums. You can also specify the number of rows or columns through the PlotGridConfiguration:
plotGridConfiguration$nRows <- 1
plotGrid(plotGridConfiguration)
Check out the documentation of the PlotGridConfiguration class for the list of supported properties.
Saving plots
All plotting functions return ggplot objects that can be further modified.
To save a plot to a file, use the ExportConfiguration object. You can edit various properties of the export, including the resolution, file format, or file name.
# Create new export configuration
exportConfiguration <- tlf::ExportConfiguration$new()
# Define the path to the folder where the file will be stored
exportConfiguration$path <- "../OutputFigures"
# Define the name of the file
exportConfiguration$name <- "MultiPanelPlot"
# Resolution
exportConfiguration$dpi <- 600
# Store the plot into a variable and export it to a file
plotObject <- plotIndividualTimeProfile(myDataCombined)
exportConfiguration$savePlot(plotObject)
