regr2.plot {HH}R Documentation

3D plot of z against x and y, with regression plane fit and display of squared residuals.

Description

3D plot of z against x and y, with regression plane fit and display of squared residuals.

Usage

regr2.plot(x, y, z,
           main.in="put a useful title here",
           resid.plot=FALSE,
           plot.base.plane=TRUE,
           plot.back.planes=TRUE,
           plot.base.points=FALSE,
           eye=NULL,                   ## S-Plus
           theta=0, phi=15, r=sqrt(3), ticktype="detailed", ## R
           ...)

Arguments

x,y,z See persp in R, persp in S-Plus.
main.in main title for plot.
resid.plot Argument to resid.squares.
plot.base.plane, plot.back.planes, plot.base.points Should these items be plotted?
eye See persp in S-Plus.
theta, phi, r, ticktype See persp in R
... Other arguments to persp.

Note

This plot is designed as a pedagogical example for introductory courses. When resid.plot=="square", then we actually see the set of squares for which the sum of their areas is minimized by the method of "least squares".
