When analyzing data, plots are a helpful tool for visualizing data and interpreting statistical models. This package provides a set of simple tools for building plots incrementally, starting with an empty plot region, and adding bars, data points, regression lines, error bars, gradient legends, density distributions in the margins, and even pictures. The package builds further on R graphics by simply combining functions and settings in order to reduce the amount of code to produce for the user. As a result, the package does not use formula input or special syntax, but can be used in combination with default R plot functions. Note: Most of the functions were part of the package 'itsadug', which is now split in two packages: 1. the package 'itsadug', which contains the core functions for visualizing and evaluating nonlinear regression models, and 2. the package 'plotfunctions', which contains more general plot functions.

The main function, plot_GMM, is used for plotting output from Gaussian mixture models (GMMs), 
    including both densities and overlaying mixture weight component curves from the fit GMM. The package
    also include the function, plot_cut_point, which plots the cutpoint (mu) from the GMM over a histogram
    of the distribution with several color options. Finally, the package includes the function, plot_mix_comps, 
    which is used in the plot_GMM function, and can be used to create a custom plot for overlaying mixture 
    component curves from GMMs. For the plot_mix_comps function, usage most often will be specifying 
    the "fun" argument within "stat_function" in a ggplot2 object.

Hidden Markov Models are useful for modeling
 sequential data. This package provides several functions
 implemented in C++ for explaining the algorithms used for
 Hidden Markov Models (forward, backward, decoding,
 learning).

Provides publication‑quality and interactive plots for exploring 
             the posterior output of Latent Space Item Response Models, including 
             Posterior Interaction Profiles, radar charts, 2‑D latent maps, and 
             item‑similarity heat maps. The methods implemented in this package 
             are based on work by Jeon, M., Jin, I. H., Schweinberger, M., Baugh, S. (2021) <doi:10.1007/s11336-021-09762-5>.
