Calibration plot is a visual tool to assess the agreement between predictions and observations in different percentiles (mostly deciles) of the predicted values. `calibration_plot` function constructs calibration plots based on provided predictions and observations columns of a given dataset. Among other options implemented in the function, one can evaluate prediction calibration according to a grouping factor (or even from multiple prediction models) in one calibration plot. ## A step-by-step guide. Imagine the variable y indicates risk of disease recurrence in a unit of time. We have a prediction model that quantifies this risk given a patient's age, disease severity level, sex, and whether the patient has a comorbidity. The package comes with two exemplary datasets. `dev_data` and `val_data`. We use the dev_data as the development sample and the `val_data` as the external validation sample. ```{R} data(dev_data) data(val_data) ``` `dev_data` has `r dim(predtools::dev_data)[1]` rows. `val_data` has `r dim(predtools::val_data)[1]` rows. Here are the first few rows of `dev_data`: ```{R echo=FALSE} knitr::kable(dev_data[1:7,]) ``` We use the development data to fit a logistic regression model as our risk prediction model: ```{R} reg <- glm(y~sex+age+severity+comorbidity,data=dev_data,family=binomial(link="logit")) summary(reg) ``` Given this, our risk prediction model can be written as: ```{R echo=FALSE} cfs <- coefficients(reg) str<-paste0(round(cfs[1],4),"+",paste0(round(cfs[-1],4),"*",names(cfs[-1]),collapse="+")) str_risk_model <- gsub("+-", "-", str, fixed = T) ``` $\bf{ logit(p)=`r str_risk_model`}$. Now, we can create the calibration plot in development and validation datasets by using `calibration_plot` function. ```{R} dev_data$pred <- predict.glm(reg, type = 'response') val_data$pred <- predict.glm(reg, newdata = val_data, type = 'response') calibration_plot(data = dev_data, obs = "y", pred = "pred", title = "Calibration plot for development data", y_lim = c(0, 0.7), x_lim=c(0, 0.7)) calibration_plot(data = val_data, obs = "y", pred = "pred", y_lim = c(0, 1), x_lim=c(0, 1), title = "Calibration plot for validation data", group = "sex") ```
