Описание тега r-forestplot
Forest plot is a graph used in statistics that shows both estimates and confidence intervals. The forestplot package in R is a package for creating these.
Forest plots, sometimes also referred to as blobbogram, date back to 1970s and are most frequently seen in meta-analysis, but are in no way restricted to these.
Forest plots show the information from the individual studies that went into the meta-analysis at a glance. They show the amount of variation between the studies and an estimate of the overall result
The forestplot package is all about providing these in R. It originated form the 'rmeta'-package's forestplot function with lots of additional functionality.
