Hello all

I'm running the lme4 package on my binomial data, and I'm happy with the
model and the resultant plot. However, I'd like to plot my table data, which
has: two IVs, and one DV. You can see an example below,  where 'attractive'
= question (IV), male = condition(IV/predictor) and no/yes = answer (dv).
I'm using the table to investigate what questions act differently to the
others, so I can better fit my model. Going through tables of numbers
doesn't seem the most efficient way of instantly seeing what questions work
differently, and I'd like to plot that.

Modulo the lme4 reference, for which you provide no data, details, code or context, you will probably find some suitable visualization methods in the vcd package, with a tutorial vignette and some extensions in the
vcdExtra package.

These include mosaic plots, fourfold plots, and a variety of specialized plots within the strucplot framework, which have close
relations to models for n-way frequency tables.




Here is my code:

  table(finaldata$Voice, finaldata$supportive, finaldata$question)
#generates my table#


From your description above and the output below, it is not clear whether you just want to view the associations within this table or to compare the associations across the elided levels of finaldata$question. Maybe somethings like [untested]

mytab <- table(finaldata$Voice, finaldata$supportive, finaldata$question)
mosaic(Voice, supportive, data=mytab)
mosaic(supportive ~ Voice|question, data=mytab)

would get you started.


Also, you have 4 levels for finaldata$Voice, which seem to imply
that these might be a 2x2 combination of Voice.gender and Voice.type
or something like that.



, ,  = attractive


                 no yes
   male1       28  35
   male2       20  22
   female1    21  21
   female2    30  19

Any help most appreciated.
