stat_poly_eq: Add a label for a fitted linear model to a plot.

Description

stat_poly_eq fits a polynomial and generates several labela with an equation and/or coefficient of determination (R^2) and other estimates.

Usage

stat_poly_eq(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, geom = "text", formula = NULL, eq.with.lhs = "italic(y)~`=`~", eq.x.rhs = NULL, label.x.npc = "left", label.y.npc = "top", label.x = NULL, label.y = NULL, output.type = "expression", position = "identity", na.rm = FALSE, show.legend = FALSE, inherit.aes = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

mapping

The aesthetic mapping, usually constructed with aes or aes_string. Only needs to be set at the layer level if you are overriding the plot defaults.

data

A layer specific dataset - only needed if you want to override the plot defaults.

geom

The geometric object to use display the data

formula

a formula object

eq.with.lhs

If character the string is pasted to the front of the equation label before parsing or a logical (see note).

eq.x.rhs

character this string will be used as replacement for "x" in the model equation when generating the label before parsing it.

label.x.npc, label.y.npc

numeric with range 0..1 or character. Coordinates to be used for positioning the output, expresed in "normalized parent coordinates" or character string. If too short they will be recycled.

label.x, label.y

numeric Coordinates (in data units) to be used for absolute positioning of the output. If too short they will be recycled.

output.type

character One of "expression", "LaTex" or "text".

position

The position adjustment to use for overlapping points on this layer

na.rm

a logical indicating whether NA values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.

show.legend

logical. Should this layer be included in the legends? NA, the default, includes if any aesthetics are mapped. FALSE never includes, and TRUE always includes.

inherit.aes

If FALSE, overrides the default aesthetics, rather than combining with them. This is most useful for helper functions that define both data and aesthetics and shouldn't inherit behaviour from the default plot specification, e.g. borders.

...

other arguments passed on to layer. This can include aesthetics whose values you want to set, not map. See layer for more details.

Computed variables

x

x position for left edge

y

y position near upper edge

eq.label

equation for the fitted polynomial as a character string to be parsed

rr.label

$R^2$ of the fitted model as a character string to be parsed

adj.rr.label

Adjusted $R^2$ of the fitted model as a character string to be parsed

AIC.label

AIC for the fitted model.

BIC.label

BIC for the fitted model.

hjust

Set to zero to override the default of the "text" geom.

Details

This stat can be used to automatically annotate a plot with R^2, adjusted R^2 or the fitted model equation. It supports only linear models fitted with function lm(). The R^2 and adjusted R^2 annotations can be used with any linear model formula. The fitted equation label is correclty generated for polynomials or quasi-polynomials through the origin. Model formulas can use poly() or be defined algebraically with terms of powers of increasing magnitude with no missing intermediate terms, except possibly for the intercept indicated by "- 1" or "-1" in the formula. The validity of the formula is not checked in the current implementation, and for this reason the default aesthetics sets R^2 as label for the annotation. This stat only generates the label, the predicted values need to be sepearately added to the plot, so to make sure that the same model formula is used in all steps it is best to save the formula as an object and supply this object as argument to the different statistics.

Examples

library(ggplot2)
# generate artificial data
set.seed(4321)
x <- 1:100
y <- (x + x^2 + x^3) + rnorm(length(x), mean = 0, sd = mean(x^3) / 4)
my.data <- data.frame(x, y, group = c("A", "B"), y2 = y * c(0.5,2))
# give a name to a formula
formula <- y ~ poly(x, 3, raw = TRUE)
# plot
ggplot(my.data, aes(x, y)) +
