viscomp

Description

The goal of viscomp is to provide several visualization tools for exploring the behavior of the components in a network meta-analysis of multi-component (complex) interventions:

• components descriptive analysis
• heat plot of the two-by-two component combinations
• leaving one component combination out scatter plot
• violin plot for specific component combinations’ effects
• density plot for components’ effects
  
• waterfall plot for the interventions’ effects that differ by a certain component combination
• network graph of components
• rank heat plot of components for multiple outcomes.
