From: Evaluating sensitivity to classification uncertainty in latent subgroup effect analyses

Fig. 2

Examples of plots for gauging the (in)stability of the subgroup-specific (average) treatment effect estimates. The plots are for three different subgroups from different datasets. In the top panel, the cumulative proportion of individuals (horizontal axis) whose subgroup membership probabilities are above a certain value (on the vertical axis) are plotted. The vertical broken line indicates the proportion of individuals imputed to that subgroup. In the bottom panel, the treatment effect estimates as individuals are added one at a time to that subgroup are plotted. The empty circles, and error bars, indicate subgroup-specific effect estimates, and 95% CIs, respectively, based on the imputed subgroup memberships
