Please provide a self-contained example (small simulated dataset or the original data [if it is or reasonable size] such that it can be copy-pasted in R). We cannot tell what is going wrong when we can't follow what is going on.
Generally, that you don't get any error message indicates that the lines and points commands are actually executed. So nothing is probably wrong with them. It then comes down to whether you plot within the right limits. You might want to test different "ylim" and "xlim" arguments in your plot() command to see whether your "lines" and "points" fall outside the limits that are initialized when you call the plot command. [SEE EXAMPLE BELOW] Cheers, Daniel ##Self-contained R-example x=rnorm(100,0,1) e=rnorm(100,0,1) y=x+e plot(y,xlim=c(101,120)) ##plot y #101 to y #120 #no points plotted because there are only 100 Ys! reg=lm(y~x) points(fitted(reg)) ##tries to plot fitted(reg) versus index numbers 1 to 100 ##in the plot initialized above ##but fitted #1 to fitted #120 ##is still out of bounds of the data, there are only 100 Ys, ##so there are only 100 fitted Ys (Y hats) ##plot correctly plot(y~x,col="red",xlim=c(-8,8),ylim=c(-8,8)) points(fitted(reg)~x,col="blue") ------------------------- cuncta stricte discussurus ------------------------- -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von uep Gesendet: Saturday, November 08, 2008 2:19 PM An: r-help@r-project.org Betreff: [R] Plotting Standard Regression Fit-Am I wrong or a bug? I'm trying to plot a time series (quarterly observations, seasonal effect, T=56),regression line and predicted point on the same plot. I'm using following commands: > plot(qdts,xlim=c(1982,1997)) > lines(fitted(m2)~time,data=qd,col="red") > points(predict(m2,newdata=nqd),col="blue") where: qdts<-ts(qd$durables,start=c(1982,1),freq=4) m2<-lm(qdts~time+quar) time<-seq(1,length(qdts),1) nqd<-data.frame(time=c(57),quar=c(1)) Unfortunately once I enter all three commands the fitted line and predicted point don't appear on the plot. What surprises me is that I am not getting any error message. What I am doing wrong?
