Visualization of Dataframe

To fit a curve to some data frame in the R Language we first visualize the data with the help of a basic scatter plot. In the R language, we can create a basic scatter plot by using the plot() function.

Syntax:

plot( df$x, df$y)

where,

  • df: determines the data frame to be used.
  • x and y: determines the axis variables.

Example:

R




# create sample data
sample_data <- data.frame(x=1:10,
                 y=c(25, 22, 13, 10, 5, 
                     9, 12, 16, 34, 44))
  
#create a basic scatterplot 
plot(sample_data$x, sample_data$y)


Output:

Curve Fitting in R

In this article, we will discuss how to fit a curve to a dataframe in the R Programming language.

Curve fitting is one of the basic functions of statistical analysis. It helps us in determining the trends and data and helps us in the prediction of unknown data based on a regression model/function.

Best fit curve with adjusted r squared value

Then we create linear regression models to the required degree and plot them on top of the scatter plot to see which one fits the data better. We use the lm() function to create a linear model. And then use lines() function to plot a line plot on top of scatter plot using these linear models....
