Satellite Plots John D. Cook * May 16, 2007 “Satellite plots” are a way of visualizing EffTox simulation results. These plots are so named because they resemble the orbits of satellites around a planet. The horizontal axis represents true probability of response and the vertical rep- resents true probability of toxicity. The “planet” in these plots is the lower right corner representing the ideal dose certain response no chance of toxicity. Each “satellite” is a disk representing a dose. The location of the disk is given by the true probabilities of response and toxicity. The size of the disk is proportional to how often that dose was selected in a given simulation. Each “orbit” is an efficacy-toxicity trade-off contour. Satellite plots first appeared in [1] but without the orbits, which were added in [2]. * http://www.JohnDCook.com 1
