Hi is it possible to fit a trend line (or some other panel function) through each of multiple data series plotted on the same graph? Specifically, while one can do something like xyplot(a+b+c~x) which plots three series, a,b & c, but can one automatically fit lines through each of them?
I suppose one could generate three more variables afit, bfit, and cfit with a model & predict and then plot them, but wondered if there was an easier way. Thank you for any advice. Here is an example: # use an example panel function using smooth.spline; however, the issue relates to all panel functions # a panel function to fit smoothed lines through data panel.smooth.spline <- function(x, y, w=NULL, df, spar = NULL, cv = FALSE, lwd=plot.line$lwd, lty=plot.line$lty,col, col.line=plot.line$col, type, horizontal=FALSE,... ) { # Deepayan Sarkar code from: http://www.mail-archive.com/r-help@r-project.org/msg39654.html x <- as.numeric(x) y <- as.numeric(y) ok <- is.finite(x) & is.finite(y) if (sum(ok) < 1) return() if (!missing(col)) { if (missing(col.line)) col.line <- col } plot.line <- trellis.par.get("plot.line") if (horizontal) { spline <- smooth.spline(y[ok], x[ok], w=w, df=df, spar = spar, cv = cv, ...) panel.lines(x = spline$y, y = spline$x, col = col.line, lty = lty, lwd = lwd, ...) } else { spline <- smooth.spline(x[ok], y[ok], w=w, df=df, spar = spar, cv = cv, ...) panel.lines(x = spline$x, y = spline$y, col = col.line, lty = lty, lwd = lwd, ...) } } # a composite function combining the xyplot and smooth.spline functions panel.composite<-function(x,y,groups, subscripts, ...) { panel.xyplot(x,y,...) panel.smooth.spline(x,y,...) } # generate mock data; this comprises three data series, a,b,c with means of about 5,35, and 105. test <- data.frame( a = runif(100, min=0, max=10), b = 30+runif(100, min=0, max=10), c = 100+runif(100, min=0, max=10), x = 1:100) # illustrate data xyplot(a + b + c ~ x, data = test, type = "p", auto.key=TRUE) # plot with fits .. but actually only one fit xyplot( a + b + c ~ x, panel=panel.composite, data = test, type = "p", auto.key=TRUE) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org 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.
