Dear Listserv, Here is my latest in a series of simple-seeming questions that dog me.
Consider the following data: x <- read.table(textConnection("temperature probability 0.11 9.4 0 2.3 0.38 8.7 0.43 9.2 0.6 15.6 0.47 8.7 0.09 12.8 0.11 9.4 0.01 7.7 0.83 8 0.65 9.3 0.05 7.4 0.34 10.1 0.02 4.8 0.07 9.1 0.6 15.6 0.01 8.4 0.9 9.6 0.83 8 0.12 8.4 0.01 8 0 5 0.11 9.7 0.41 7.4 0.05 9.4 0.09 8.3 0 6.1 0.12 8.4 0.73 7.8 0 4.2"), header = TRUE, as.is = TRUE) closeAllConnections() I modeled the relationship: Probability = f(Temperature), i.e., probability as a function of temperature. I found that there is a significant quadratic term in the model: summary(lm(x[,2] ~ x[,1] + I(x[,1]^2))) Now the question is: how do I plot it? I can do this: plot(x[,2] ~ x[,1]) ...but I would also like to add a line corresponding to the quadratic function. In other words, I want to visually show the relationship among the variables that is being modeled. How do I do it? I think the curve() command will be used, but I don't know how to employ it. Thanks very much in advance.
