Scatter Plot with Smooth Curve Fitted by Loess
Plot and add a smooth curve computed by loess
to a scatter plot.
- Keywords
- smooth
Usage
scatter.smooth(x, y = NULL, span = 2/3, degree = 1,
family = c("symmetric", "gaussian"),
xlab = NULL, ylab = NULL,
ylim = range(y, pred$y, na.rm = TRUE),
evaluation = 50, …, lpars = list())loess.smooth(x, y, span = 2/3, degree = 1,
family = c("symmetric", "gaussian"), evaluation = 50, …)
Arguments
- x, y
the
x
andy
arguments provide the x and y coordinates for the plot. Any reasonable way of defining the coordinates is acceptable. See the functionxy.coords
for details.- span
smoothness parameter for
loess
.- degree
degree of local polynomial used.
- family
if
"gaussian"
fitting is by least-squares, and iffamily = "symmetric"
a re-descending M estimator is used. Can be abbreviated.- xlab
label for x axis.
- ylab
label for y axis.
- ylim
the y limits of the plot.
- evaluation
number of points at which to evaluate the smooth curve.

Details
loess.smooth
is an auxiliary function which evaluates the
loess
smooth at evaluation
equally spaced points
covering the range of x
.
Value
For scatter.smooth
, none.
For loess.smooth
, a list with two components, x
(the
grid of evaluation points) and y
(the smoothed values at the
grid points).

## or with dotted thick smoothed line results :
with(cars, scatter.smooth(speed, dist, lpars =
list(col = "red", lwd = 3, lty = 3)))
