Hi Jorge and Dennis,

Thank you for the hint!
However, I'm still very intrigued as to why it does not work using plot ... 
what is special about this specific formula that plot doesn't like it?


There's nothing special about the formula. plot() is simply saying (in a slightly unclear way) that it requires an argument named x, and you didn't pass one. You would get past that error by leaving off the "formula =" part of your call, so that the first argument gets passed as x by default. But then you'll get a new error:

> plot(y~1/(1+exp(5.0993-0.1084*x)),data=data.frame(x=seq(0,100,length.out=1000)))
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : object 'y' not found

The problem here is that you're asking to plot y versus an expression involving x, without defining what y is. The version that works is the slightly odd looking

> plot(1/(1+exp(5.0993-0.1084*x)) ~ x,data=data.frame(x=seq(0,100,length.out=1000)))

(or the version involving curve() that Jorge sent.)

Hi Giovanni,

curve(1/(1+exp(5.0993-0.1084*x)), 0, 100)

Hello,

I'd like to plot the logistic function for a specific model like this:

plot(formula=y~1/(1+exp(5.0993-0.1084*x)),data=data.frame(x=seq(0,100,length.out=1000)))
Error in is.function(x) : 'x' is missing

However, I get the 'x' is missing error above and don't know how to fix it ...

Can anyone advice?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Giovanni
