Please read ?lm! -- where it says: method: the method to be used; for fitting, currently only method = "qr" is supported; method = "model.frame" returns the model frame (the same as with model = TRUE, see below).
More to the point, your request for a "spearman" method for lm() makes little or no sense. There *are* rank-based methods for multiple regression, but that sort of discussion is off topic here. I suggest you talk with a local statistician as you appear to be out of your depth statistically; or you might try posting on a statistical site like stats.stackexchange.com Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter "The trouble with having an open mind is that people keep coming along and sticking things into it." -- Opus (aka Berkeley Breathed in his "Bloom County" comic strip ) On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 8:35 PM, Hoji, Akihiko <ak...@pitt.edu> wrote: > Hi, > > A following function was kindly provided by GGally’s maintainer, Barret > Schloerke. > > function(data, mapping, ...) { > p <- ggplot(data = data, mapping = mapping) + > geom_point(color = I("blue")) + > geom_smooth(method = "lm", color = I("black"), ...) + > theme_blank() + > theme(panel.border=element_rect(fill=NA, linetype = "solid", > color="black")) > > lmModel <- eval(substitute(lm(y ~ x, data = data), mapping)) > fs <- summary(lmModel)$fstatistic > pValue <- pf(fs[1], fs[2], fs[3], lower.tail = FALSE) > > if (pValue < 0.05) { > p <- p + theme( > panel.border = element_rect( > color = "red", > size = 3, > linetype = "solid", > fill = "transparent" > ) > ) > } > > p > } > > Basically, this function draws red squares over pairwise corr plots with > p<0.05.
