How to join points on a scatterplot with smooth lines in R using plot function?
It is very difficult to join points on a scatterplot with smooth lines if the scatteredness is high but we might want to look at the smoothness that cannot be understood by just looking at the points. It is also helpful to understand whether the model is linear or not. We can do this by plotting the model with loess using plot function.
Example
Consider the below data −
> set.seed(3) > x<-sample(1:100,10,replace=TRUE) > y<-rpois(10,100)
Using loess to create the smooth lines −
> Model <- loess(y~x) > summary(Model) Call: loess(formula = y ~ x) Number of Observations: 10 Equivalent Number of Parameters: 4.77 Residual Standard Error: 8.608 Trace of smoother matrix: 5.27 (exact) Control settings: span : 0.75 degree : 2 family : gaussian surface : interpolate cell = 0.2 normalize : TRUE parametric : FALSE drop.square: FALSE > plot(x,y)
Output
> lines(Model, col='red', lwd=2)
