| Description | This function makes a scatterplot of y versus x, with different symbols for the two levels of a dummy variable, where the dummy variable is coded as 0 or 1. From the regression of y on x, dummy variable, interaction (x * dummy variable) and optionally other covariates, the function superimposes on the plot the separate slope of y on x for dummy variable = 0 or 1. These slopes are the predicted lines at mean values of the other covariates (in "covnames" arguments). Options include adding a legend, printing out the regression results to screen, and varying color, size, line type, etc of the lines, as well as plotting symbol and size of the points in the plot. |

| Datasets | Other |
| Data | Any dataset suitable for linear regression with an interaction of a dummy variable with another variable. The function is illustrated with airquality (a default dataset in R) |
| Software Program | R |
| Software | R version 2.9.0 (2009-04-17) |
| Macro Parameters | ### ARGUMENTS: ### tdat is database ### yname is name of y variable in tdat ### xname is name of x variable in tdat, for which we want partial plot ### dummyvar is name of dummy variable for which we want interaction ### x0name is name of x*I(dummy variable==0) (THIS MUST BE PART OF THE DATASET) ### x1name is name of x*I(dummy variable==1) (THIS MUST BE PART OF THE DATASET) ### covnames is vector of names of remaining variables ### txlab is name to go on x-axis of plot (default is xname) ### tylab is name to go on y-axis of plot (default is yname) ### cex.xylab is size of x and y axes ### ttitle is title of plot (default is none) ### cex.title is size of title ### print.results=TRUE if want to print regression results on screen ### ### show.legend=TRUE means include legend ### legend.x0name is what to go in the legend to indicate slope for x0 ### legend.x1name is what to go in the legend to indicate slope for x1 ### legend.loc is location of legend. Possible values are: ### "topleft","topright","bottomleft","bottomright","top","bottom","left","right","center" ### cex.legend is size of legend ### ### confidence.bands=TRUE if want confidence bands on the plot ### lty.lev0 is line type for plotting the line for dummy=0 ### lty.lev1 is line type for plotting the line for dummy=1 ### lty.confidence is line type for the confidence interval ### col.lev0 is color for points and line for dummy=0 ### col.lev1 is color for points and line for dummy=1 ### pch.lev0 is plotting character for dummy=0 ### pch.lev1 is plotting character for dummy=1 ### cex.points is size of points ### ### lwd.slope is lwd for slopes ### lwd.confidence is lwd for confidence bands ### ### The user has the option to either view the plots on the screen ### (save.plots=FALSE, which is the default), or to save the plots ### (save.plots=TRUE) ### If save.plots=TRUE, save either to pdf files (type.plots="pdf", the default) ### or as eps files (type.plots="eps"). The user controls the base name ### of the plots with the basename= argument, so if basename=silly and ### type.plots="pdf" then the plots will be silly1.pdf, silly2.pdf, etc. ### ### ndigits is number of digits to show when printing regression model |
