Examples

# base scatterplot
plot(gpa ~ sat, data = GRADES)

# lattice scatterplot
xyplot(gpa ~ sat, data = GRADES, type = c("p", "smooth"))

# ggplot scatterplot
ggplot(data = GRADES, aes(x = sat, y = gpa)) + geom_point() + geom_smooth()
#> `geom_smooth()` using method = 'loess' and formula 'y ~ x'
