Forest plot to compare HDI intervals from a number of distributions.

Generates a forest plot of 100*(hdi_prob)% HDI intervals from a trace or list of traces.

Parameters

data: obj or list[obj]

Any object that can be converted to an arviz.InferenceData object Refer to documentation of arviz.convert_to_dataset() for details.

kind: str

Choose kind of plot for main axis. Supports “forestplot” or “ridgeplot”.

model_names: list[str], optional

List with names for the models in the list of data. Useful when plotting more that one dataset.

var_names: list[str], optional

List of variables to plot (defaults to None, which results in all variables plotted) Prefix the variables by ~ when you want to exclude them from the plot.

combine_dimsset_like of str, optional

List of dimensions to reduce. Defaults to reducing only the “chain” and “draw” dimensions. See the this section for usage examples.

filter_vars: {None, “like”, “regex”}, optional, default=None

If None(default), interpret var_names as the real variables names. If “like”, interpret var_names as substrings of the real variables names. If “regex”, interpret var_names as regular expressions on the real variables names. A la pandas.filter.

transform: callable

Function to transform data (defaults to None i.e.the identity function)

coords: dict, optional

Coordinates of var_names to be plotted. Passed to xarray.Dataset.sel().

combined: bool

Flag for combining multiple chains into a single chain. If False(default), chains will be plotted separately.

hdi_prob: float, optional

Plots highest posterior density interval for chosen percentage of density. Defaults to 0.94.

rope: tuple or dictionary of tuples

Lower and upper values of the Region Of Practical Equivalence. If a list with one interval only is provided, the ROPE will be displayed across the y-axis. If more than one interval is provided the length of the list should match the number of variables.

quartiles: bool, optional

Flag for plotting the interquartile range, in addition to the hdi_prob intervals. Defaults to True.

r_hat: bool, optional

Flag for plotting Split R-hat statistics. Requires 2 or more chains. Defaults to False

ess: bool, optional

Flag for plotting the effective sample size. Defaults to False.

colors: list or string, optional

list with valid matplotlib colors, one color per model. Alternative a string can be passed. If the string is cycle, it will automatically chose a color per model from the matplotlibs cycle. If a single color is passed, eg ‘k’, ‘C2’, ‘red’ this color will be used for all models. Defaults to ‘cycle’.

textsize: float

Text size scaling factor for labels, titles and lines. If None it will be autoscaled based on figsize.

linewidth: int

Line width throughout. If None it will be autoscaled based on figsize.

markersize: int

Markersize throughout. If None it will be autoscaled based on figsize.

legendbool, optional

Show a legend with the color encoded model information. Defaults to True, if there are multiple models.

labellerlabeller instance, optional

Class providing the method make_model_label to generate the labels in the plot. Read the Label guide for more details and usage examples.

ridgeplot_alpha: float

Transparency for ridgeplot fill. If 0, border is colored by model, otherwise a black outline is used.

ridgeplot_overlap: float

Overlap height for ridgeplots.

ridgeplot_kind: string

By default (“auto”) continuous variables are plotted using KDEs and discrete ones using histograms. To override this use “hist” to plot histograms and “density” for KDEs.

ridgeplot_truncate: bool

Whether to truncate densities according to the value of hdi_prob. Defaults to True.

ridgeplot_quantiles: list

Quantiles in ascending order used to segment the KDE. Use [.25, .5, .75] for quartiles. Defaults to None.

figsize: tuple

Figure size. If None, it will be defined automatically.

ax: axes, optional

matplotlib.axes.Axes or bokeh.plotting.Figure.

backend: str, optional

Select plotting backend {“matplotlib”,”bokeh”}. Defaults to “matplotlib”.

backend_config: dict, optional

Currently specifies the bounds to use for bokeh axes. Defaults to value set in rcParams.

backend_kwargs: bool, optional

These are kwargs specific to the backend being used, passed tomatplotlib.pyplot.subplots() or bokeh.plotting.figure(). For additional documentation check the plotting method of the backend.

show: bool, optional

Call backend show function.

Returns

gridspec: matplotlib GridSpec or bokeh figures
