Dear R helpers,
Is there a way to display mathematical notations (e.g. greek characters,
subscripts) properly in study (studlab) and group (byvar) labels in a forest
plot created using the meta package?
#Example:
library(meta)
logHR <- log(runif(10,0.5,2))
selogHR <- log(runif(10,0.05,0.2))
study=c(0.1,.2,.3,.4,.5,0.1,.2,.3,.4,.5)
group=c(rep('alpha',5),rep('beta',5))
meta1=metagen(logHR, selogHR,
sm="HR",studlab=paste("Fixed",expression(beta[w]),study),byvar=group)
forest(meta1, print.byvar=F)
Question 2
Is there a way to add a line to this plot at my preferred location? For
example, I want to add a within-group combined estimate line (the default here
is just an overall group line by random or fixed effects).
I know I need to use grid.lines, e.g.
grid.lines(x = 3, y = c(0.5,1),gp = gpar(col = 5))
But for the life of me I can't work out the co-ordinate system in grid graphics!
Thank you for ANY help or tips! I've run out of things to try :(
