regr1.plot: plot x and y, with optional straight line fit and display of squared residuals

Description

Plot x and y, with optional fitted line and display of squared residuals. By default the least squares line is calculated and used. Any other straight line can be specified by placing its coefficients in coef.model. Any other fitted model can be calculated by specifying the model argument. Any other function of one variable can be specified in the alt.function argument. At most one of the arguments model, coef.model, alt.function can be specified.

Usage

regr1.plot(x, y,
           model=lm(y~x),
           coef.model,
           alt.function,
           main="put a useful title here",
           xlab=deparse(substitute(x)),
           ylab=deparse(substitute(y)),
           jitter.x=FALSE,
           resid.plot=FALSE,
           points.yhat=TRUE,
           pch=16,
           ..., length.x.set=51,
           x.name,
           pch.yhat=16,
           cex.yhat=par()$cex*.7,
           err=-1)
