Thanks for your reply.
Is "fitted(lm(...))" the same as "values" of lines(values)?
If yes,then why the range of lines(values) is different from
range(fitted(lm(...)))?
You are plotting against the wrong x axis, and you don't see all the values.

If no, what "values" refers to?

Hi all:
I met a question about "lines".
attach(cars)
plot(dist ~ speed)
#add the regression line to the plot
lines(fitted(lm(dist~speed)) ~ speed)
plot(dist ~ speed)
#what kind of curve does the following command add to the plot?
lines(fitted(lm(dist~speed)))
My question is :
what kind of curve does the last command add to the plot?
Look at the class of fitted(lm(...)). It is "numeric". So what you're
seeing is the same as if you computed the fitted values, and then did
lines(values)
Since values is just a vector of numbers, that will plot them as y
values against x values 1:length(values). That's unlikely to be a
useful thing to do.
Duncan Murdoch
My guess:maybe the level of fitted values?
range(fitted(lm(dist~speed)))
[1] -1.84946 80.73112
But from the plot,I can see the range of the curve is about 10 to 40 more or
less,which is different from(-1.84946, 80.73112).So the curve must not be the
fitted values.What kind of curve does the last command add to the plot then?
Many thanks for your help
My best
