Thanks again. I guess I have been fitting in splus gui and in R Commander, not really calling it myself. I was thinking maybe there was a way to define it as a class or something.
I will have to look at segments. Any thoughts if this might be easy to use with years on an axis?

But I still don't know what you're after. From your original post: Is there a way to make it appear like a regression fit instead of a line that extends from the edges of the plot? I would like to have the OLS appear as a dotted line and the KT a solid line but as it is the KT line is longer. So how are plotting your 'regression fit'? abline( lm( y ~ x ) ) would also extend across the plot. I suppose that you could use segments() with the range of x-values. BTW, here's a shorter version of your code: yy <- outer(y, y, "-") xx <- outer(x, x, "-") z <- yy / xx s <- z[lower.tri(z)] slope <- median(s) intercept <- median(y) - slope * median(x) Peter Ehlers > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Kendall-Theil-line-as-fit-tp3344617p3349277.html<http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Kendall-Theil-line-as-fit-tp3344617p3349277.html?by-user=t> > Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ [hidden email]</user/SendEmail.jtp?type=node&node=3349445&i=0&by-user=t> mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ________________________________ If you reply to this email, your message will be added to the discussion below: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Kendall-Theil-line-as-fit-tp3344617p3349445.html To unsubscribe from Kendall Theil line as fit?, click here<http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=unsubscribe_by_code&node=3344617&code=YXNlZW1hbkBpYXNveWJlYW5zLmNvbXwzMzQ0NjE3fDI0NTMyMDgxOQ==>. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Kendall-Theil-line-as-fit-tp3344617p3349497.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
