similar to: Removing default loess line from scatterplot ({car})

Dear R-community, maybe someone can help me with this: I've been using the loess() smoother for quite a while now, and for the matter of documentation I'd like to resolve the acronym LOESS. Unfortunately there's no explanation in the help file, and I didn't get anything convincing from google either. I know that the predecessor LOWESS stands for "Locally Weighted

Hi there, I'm using the lattice package to create an xy plot of abundance vs. depth for 5 stages of barnacle larvae from 5 species. Each panel of the plot represents a different stage, while different loess smoothers within each panel should represent different species. However, I would like depth to be on the y-axis and abundance to be on the x-axis, because this is more intuitive as an

Dear Anupam Tyagi, You didn't include your data, so it's not possible to see exactly what happened, but I think that you misunderstand the object that loess() returns. It returns a "loess" object with several components, including the original data in x and y. So if pass the object to lines(), you'll simply connect the points, and if x isn't sorted, the points

Thanks, John. However, loess.smooth() is producing a very different curve compared to the one that results from applying predict() on a loess(). I am guessing they are using different defaults.

Hi Folks, I'm looking to do Confidence bands around LOESS smoothing curve. If found the older post about using the Standard error to approximate it https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-August/170011.html Also found this one http://www.r-bloggers.com/sab-r-metrics-basics-of-loess-regression/ But they both seem to be approximations of confidence intervals and I was wonder if there was

For some reason the following code is not plotting as I want it to. I want to plot a "loess" line plotted over a scatter plot. I get a jumble, with lines connecting all the points. I had a similar problem with "lowess". I solved that by dropping "NA" rows from the data columns. Please help. library(stats) attach(gini_pci_wdi_narm) plot(ny_gnp_pcap_pp_kd, si_pov_gini)

Hi R-listers, Q1) What is the difference between the scatterplot and plot function? Q2) I am able to make a graph with the scatterplot function: scatterplot(DevelopIndex ~ Veg, + data = Turtle, + xlab = "Vegetation border (m)", + ylab = "Embryonic development index") And have been successful. But I do not know if the lines are for:

Hello R folks, I am encountering a problem with the following scatterplot function from the car package: > scatterplot(y~x|z) where y and x are continuous (interval) random variables and z is a categorical variable. When z is a categorical variable coded 1 or 2, I (appropriately) get a scatterplot of y by x, coded by z. Similarly, when z is a categorical variable coded 1, 2, or 3, there is

I'm updating the loess routines to allow for, among other things, arbitrary local polynomial degree and number of predictors. For now, I've given the updated package its own namespace. The trouble is, panel.loess still calls the original code in package:stats instead of the new loess package, regardless of whether package:loess or package:lattice comes first in the search list. If I

I am trying to use scatterplot function in CAR like the following: scatterplot(X~Y) I want to label X points and Y ponits using the different color. Any idea for this? Aimin

Hi All. I'd like to change the default plotting colors used to construct a scatterplot with regression line in the CAR package. So, scatterplot(y~pred,smooth=FALSE, xlab="X", ylab="Y", lwd=2) If I change the palette (e.g., palette(ranbow(6)), I can change the color of the lines and points. However, the axes and labels remain in black (i.e., the first color in the

Hi Folks, Please, when I ask the option reg.line at the scatterplot in package car, the OLS models includes a constant? If not how can I do it sing the following code: scatterplot(lfirms ~ lscale, data=dataset, reg.line=lm, smooth=FALSE, labels=FALSE, span=0.5, xlab="Relative Plant Fixed Cost", ylab="Relative Number of Firms", pch=c(18),

Dear R community, I am trying to understand how the predict function, specifically, the predict.loess function works. I understand that the loess function calculates regression parameters at each data point in 'data'. lo <- loess ( y~x, data) p <- predict (lo, newdata) I understand that the predict function predicts values for 'newdata' according to the loess regression

hi, new to R and using the car package to do some scatterplots with ellipses hoping to add the area and center points of each ellipse to the legend? looking for some direction / ideas.... here is the script, the data is where golf shots end up by club. x (dispersion), y (distance), group (Club) thanks, sam ## usage: Rscript shotScatter.R infile outfile level1 level2 minX maxX minY maxY

Network Blitz I'm trying to generate a graph to summarize Interest Rate Parity. This involves a scatterplot of x against y where the x and y limits are set so to center the graph on 0,0 and then adding each axis line and a 45 degree line. Using CAR's scatterplot (sample code below) everything except the axes plot fine: scatterplot( Interest.Rate.Dif ~ ForPrm| profit,

I have a question about running an optimization function on an existing LOESS function defined in R. I have a very large dataset (1 million observations) and have run a LOESS regression. Now, I want to run a Newton-Raphson optimization to determine the point at which the slope change is the greatest. I am relatively new to R and have tried several permutations of the maxNR and nlm functions with

I am getting an error message from scatterplot: > library(car) > scatterplot(Prestige$income~Prestige$type) Error in Summary.factor(c(2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, : range not meaningful for factors In addition: Warning message: In Ops.factor(x[floor(d)], x[ceiling(d)]) : + not meaningful for factors > The command does output the kind of graph that I want (boxplots).

If a run a LOESS model and then produce a smoothed surface: Is there any way to determine the coordinates of the local maxima on the surface? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello Masters, I run the loess() function to obtain local weighted regressions, given lowess() can't handle NAs, but I don't improve significantly my situation......, actually loess() performance leave me much puzzled....
