Arguments

x: An object of class 'batss' (i.e., output of the function batss.glm).
which: An integer vector indicating the list of desired plots. If a subset of the plots is required, specify a subset of the numbers 1:4. By default, all plots are provided, i.e., which=1:4. Plot 1 displays the boxplot of the total sample size as well as the boxplot of the sample sizes per group, Plot 2 displays a barplot of the probability of stopping at each look, plot 3 displays the violin plot of the sample size per group, and plot 4 displays the Monte Carlo trial target estimates as a function of the sample size.
ask: A logical. If TRUE, the user is prompted to hit the Enter key before each plot. See par(ask=.). The default is ask=TRUE.
hypothesis: A character string indicating which alternative hypothesis to use for analyses considering both "H0" and "H1", with options "H1" (default) and "H0".
title: Either a logical indicating if a title should be added or a string (of class character) indicating the title to be added. If title equals TRUE (default), the title 'Under 'H1' or 'Under 'H0' (depending on the argument hypothesis) is added to the outer margin of the plot. No outer margin space is added if title = FALSE.
legend: A logical (with default set to TRUE) if a legend should be added at the bottom of plots 3 and 4, or a list with names height, cex and pt respectively indicating i/ the fraction of the plot to be used for the legend as a numeric (default is .15), ii/ the character expansion factor relative to current par("cex") as a numeric (default to 1.25), and iii/ the expansion factor(s) for the points as a numeric (default to 2). The input legend = TRUE is equivalent to legend = c(height=.15, cex=1, pt=2).
ess: A logical (with default set to TRUE) indicating if the expected sample size should be displayed in plots 2, 3 and 4, or a list with names col, cex and bg respectively indicating i/ the colour of the label as a character (plots 2, 3, and 4), ii/ the text expension level as a numerical value (plots 2, 3 and 4) and iii/ the background colour as a character (plot 3). The input ess = TRUE is equivalent to ess = list(col="blue", cex=1, bg="#FFD70070").
percentage: A logical (with default set to TRUE) indicating if the probability of stopping at each look should be displayed in plots 2 (as a percentage), or a list with names col, and cex indicating i/ the colour of the label as a character, ii/ the text expension level as a numerical value. The input percentage = TRUE is equivalent to percentage = list(col="violet", cex=1).
beta: A logical (with default set to TRUE) indicating if the assumed target parameter value(s) should be displayed in plot 4, or a list with names col, lwd, and lty respectively indicating i/ the colour of the target parameter value horizontal line(s) as a character, ii/ the thickness of the line(s) as a numerical value and iii/ the type of line as an integer (see par for details). The input beta = TRUE is equivalent to beta = list(col="blue", lwd=1.5, lty=1).
col: A vector of length 4 specifying the colours to be used. Default to c("#8B897040","#008B0040","#8B3A3A40","#FF990075") where the last two digits of the hexadecimal strings specify the level of transparency. Refer to the Section 'colour specification' in par for details. If the length of col equals 1, the same colour is used for all cases. For plots 1 and 2, the 3rd colour of the vector col is used to display the barplot and boxplots.
smooth: A numerical (>0) indictating the level of smoothing of the violin plots (for plot 3). Default to 1. When smooth=NULL, the smoothing value is optimised in the sm.density function.
...: Additional arguments affecting the plot produced, like ylim and ylab.
