If outer variables are specified, the combination of their levels are used to determine the panels of the Trellis display. Otherwise, the levels of the grouping variable determine the panels. A scatter plot of the response versus the primary covariate is displayed in each panel, with observations corresponding to same inner group joined by line segments. The Trellis function <code>xyplot</code> is used. </p> <h3>Usage</h3> <pre> ## S3 method for class 'nfnGroupedData' plot(x, outer, inner, innerGroups, xlab, ylab, strip, aspect, panel, key, grid, ...) </pre> <h3>Arguments</h3> <table summary="R argblock"> <tr valign="top"><td><code>x</code></td> <td> <p>an object inheriting from class <code>nfnGroupedData</code>, representing a <code>groupedData</code> object with a numeric primary covariate and a single grouping level. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>outer</code></td> <td> <p>an optional logical value or one-sided formula, indicating covariates that are outer to the grouping factor, which are used to determine the panels of the Trellis plot. If equal to <code>TRUE</code>, <code>attr(object, "outer")</code> is used to indicate the outer covariates. An outer covariate is invariant within the sets of rows defined by the grouping factor. Ordering of the groups is done in such a way as to preserve adjacency of groups with the same value of the outer variables. Defaults to <code>NULL</code>, meaning that no outer covariates are to be used. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>inner</code></td> <td> <p>an optional logical value or one-sided formula, indicating a covariate that is inner to the grouping factor, which is used to associate points within each panel of the Trellis plot. If equal to <code>TRUE</code>, <code>attr(object, "inner")</code> is used to indicate the inner covariate. An inner covariate can change within the sets of rows defined by the grouping factor. Defaults to <code>NULL</code>, meaning that no inner covariate is present. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>innerGroups</code></td> <td> <p>an optional one-sided formula specifying a factor to be used for grouping the levels of the <code>inner</code> covariate. Different colors, or line types, are used for each level of the <code>innerGroups</code> factor. Default is <code>NULL</code>, meaning that no <code>innerGroups</code> covariate is present. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>xlab, ylab</code></td> <td> <p>optional character strings with the labels for the plot. Default is the corresponding elements of <code>attr(object, "labels")</code> and <code>attr(object, "units")</code> pasted together. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>strip</code></td> <td> <p>an optional function passed as the <code>strip</code> argument to the <code>xyplot</code> function. Default is <code>strip.default(..., style = 1)</code> (see <code>trellis.args</code>). </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>aspect</code></td> <td> <p>an optional character string indicating the aspect ratio for the plot passed as the <code>aspect</code> argument to the <code>xyplot</code> function. Default is <code>"xy"</code> (see <code>trellis.args</code>). </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>panel</code></td> <td> <p>an optional function used to generate the individual panels in the Trellis display, passed as the <code>panel</code> argument to the <code>xyplot</code> function.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>key</code></td> <td> <p>an optional logical function or function. If <code>TRUE</code> and <code>innerGroups</code> is non-<code>NULL</code>, a legend for the different <code>innerGroups</code> levels is included at the top of the plot. If given as a function, it is passed as the <code>key</code> argument to the <code>xyplot</code> function. Default is <code>TRUE</code> if <code>innerGroups</code> is non-<code>NULL</code> and <code>FALSE</code> otherwise. </p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>grid</code></td> <td> <p>an optional logical value indicating whether a grid should be added to plot. Default is <code>TRUE</code>.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>...</code></td> <td> <p>optional arguments passed to the <code>xyplot</code> function.</p> </td></tr> </table> <h3>Value</h3> <p>a Trellis plot of the response versus the primary covariate. </p> <h3>Author(s)</h3> <p>José Pinheiro and Douglas Bates <a href="mailto:bates@stat.wisc.edu">bates@stat.wisc.edu</a></p> <h3>References</h3> <p>Bates, D.M. and Pinheiro, J.C.
