I would like to plot 3 best-fit models in a single panel of a lattice plot, superimposed on 3 corresponding datasets in the same panel. My goal is to show the models as lines of 3 different colors, and the data as points whose colors correspond to the model colors. In essence, I have two levels of grouping: 1) model vs. data, and 2) model number. Since there is only one “groups” variable, I have tried to deal with the additional grouping level by subsetting the data inside a custom panel function (basically a hack), but something about the way parameters are passed in panel.superpose (I think) is making it hard to show both points and lines.
My question is very similar to a previous post: http://www.ask.com/web?q=r%20panel.superpose%20bwplot%20sim%20actual&o=15527&l=dis&prt=NIS&chn=retail&geo=US&ver=18 , but the questioner in that case was using bwplot, which automatically makes a separate plot for every level of the categorical variable, so they didn’t face the two-level grouping problem, and I have been unable to figure out how to adapt their answer. Another approach I tried was to put my model function inside of my custom panel function so that the analysis occurred there, but I couldn’t get it to subset the x and y data appropriately. In the toy problem below I want to plot each inverted V (“model”) as LINES, with a single POINT (“data”) in the center of each inverted V, the same color as the inverted V. The code runs, but I can’t seem to mix lines and points. In my real problem (stable isotopes with ellipses superimposed on data) there will be additional panels but I am creating only one panel here, for simplicity. #generate test "model results" x<-1:9 y<-rep(c(1,3,1),3) model<-c(rep("a",3),rep("b",3),rep("c",3)) modelresults<-data.frame(x,y,model) #generate test "data" x<-c(2,5,8) y<-rep(1.5,3) model<-c("a","b","c") data<-data.frame(x,y,model) #combine them into one data set combined<-make.groups(modelresults,data) #custom panel function panel.dualplot <- function(...) { panel.xyplot(x[which="modelresults"],y[which="modelresults"],...) panel.points(x[which="data"],y[which="data"],...) } #main call to xyplot xyplot(y ~ x, data=combined, type = "l", panel = panel.superpose, groups = model, panel.groups = panel.dualplot, ) I’d be very grateful for any suggestions. Thanks!
