Check upper limit of parameter values

Usage

check_ulim(df, ulim, param)

Arguments

df

A data frame containing the parameter values.

ulim

The specified upper limit for the parameter values.

param

The name of the parameter.

Value

The suggested upper limit for the parameter values.

Details

Each forest plot has a default upper limit for the parameter values, based on the expected range of the parameter. This function checks the upper limit of parameter values in a data frame and compares it with the default limit. If the maximum parameter value exceeds the specified upper limit, a warning message is displayed. The function also returns the suggested upper limit. It is used internally by the forest plot functions (only for warning the user). You can also use it directly to update the default upper limit in the forest plot functions.

Examples

df <- data.frame(parameter_value = c(10, 20, 30))
check_ulim(df, 25, "parameter")
#> Warning: The maximum parameter is 30 ; the ulim is set to 25 . Some points may not be
#> plotted. Consider increasing ulim.
#> [1] 30
