First Class Linear Regression Ggplot2

In this tutorial we will demonstrate some of the many options the ggplot2 package has for creating linear regression plots.

Linear regression ggplot2. In my early days as an analyst adding regression line equations and R² to my plots in Microsoft Excel was a good way to make an impression on the management. I want to add 3 linear regression lines to 3 different groups of points in the same graph. May 20 2020 April 5 2021.

This is mostly a review of what we learned in the post on adding a LOESS line to a plot. Regression model is fitted using the function lm. This post focuses on how to do that in R using the ggplot2 package.

Adding a linear trend to a scatterplot helps the reader in seeing patterns. Adding regression line to scatter plot can help reveal the relationship or association between the two numerical variables in the scatter plot. I used ggplot for visualization and linear regression in R for this model.

Ggplot2 provides the geom_smooth function that allows to add the linear trend and the confidence interval around it if needed option seTRUE. The method argument allows to apply different smoothing method like glm loess and more. Add regression line equation and R2 to a ggplot.
