## Plot regression terms

### Description

Plots regression terms against their predictors, optionally with standard errors and partial residuals added.

### Usage

    termplot(model, data=model.frame(model), partial.resid=FALSE, rug=FALSE,
             terms=NULL, se=FALSE, xlabs=NULL, ylabs=NULL, main = NULL,
             col.term = 2, lwd.term = 1.5,
             col.se = "orange", lty.se = 2, lwd.se = 1,
             col.res = "gray", cex = 1, pch = par("pch"),
             ask = interactive() && nb.fig < n.tms && .Device != "postscript",
             ...)

### Arguments

`model` | fitted model object
`data` | data frame in which the variables in `model` can be found
`partial.resid` | logical; should partial residuals be plotted?
`rug` | add rugplots (jittered 1-d histograms) to the axes?
`terms` | which terms to plot (default `NULL` means all terms)
`se` | plot pointwise standard errors?
`xlabs` | vector of labels for the x axes
`ylabs` | vector of labels for the y axes
`main` | logical, or vector of main titles; if `TRUE`, the model's call is taken as main title, `NULL` or `FALSE` mean no titles.
`col.term, lwd.term` | color and line width for the ``term curve'', see `lines`.
`col.se, lty.se, lwd.se` | color, line type and line width for the ``twice-standard-error curve'' when `se = TRUE`.
`col.res, cex, pch` | color, plotting character expansion and type for partial residuals, when `partial.resid = TRUE`, see `points`.
`ask` | logical; if `TRUE`, the user is asked before each plot, see `par(ask=.)`.
`...` | other graphical parameters

### Details

The model object must have a `predict` method that accepts `type=terms`, eg `glm` in the base package, `coxph` and `survreg` in the `survival` package.

For the `partial.resid=TRUE` option it must have a `residuals` method that accepts `type="partial"`, which `lm` and `glm` do.

It is often necessary to specify the `data` argument, because it is not possible to reconstruct eg `x` from a model frame containing `sin(x)`. The `data` argument must have exactly the same rows as the model frame of the model object so, for example, missing data must have been removed in the same way.

### See Also

For (generalized) linear models, `plot.lm` and `predict.glm`.

### Examples

    rs <- require(splines)
    x <- 1:100
    z <- factor(rep(1:4,25))
    y <- rnorm(100,sin(x/10)+as.numeric(z))
    model <- glm(y ~ ns(x,6) + z)

    par(mfrow=c(2,2)) ## 2 x 2 plots for same model :
    termplot(model, main = paste("termplot( ", deparse(model$call)," ...)"))
    termplot(model, rug=TRUE)
    termplot(model, partial=TRUE, rug= TRUE,
             main="termplot(..., partial = TRUE, rug = TRUE)")
    termplot(model, partial=TRUE, se = TRUE, main = TRUE)
    if(rs) detach("package:splines")
