Have a look at the help page for ?plotmath, and try also this:

x <- rnorm(10)
y <- rnorm(10)
R2 <- round(summary(lm(y ~ x))$r.squared, 3)
plot(x, y, main = bquote(R^2 == .(R2)))


I hope it helps.

Best,
Dimitris

This was my initial attempt at creating a title on a graph of the R squared
value:

x<-rnorm(10)
y<-rnorm(10)
plot(x,y, main=paste(expression(R^2)," = ",round(summary(lm(y~
x))$r.squared, digits=3), sep=""))

I've read various other posts that say expression needs to be taken outside
the paste, but I can't seem to get it work as the following fails

plot(x,y, main=expression(paste("R^2"," = ",round(summary(lm(y~
x))$r.squared, digits=3), sep="")))

I tried it with title() and didn't get much further either.

Hmmm, any ideas what am I missing?

Thanks

Paul
