## Plot regression terms

### Description

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

### Usage

    termplot(model, data=NULL, envir=environment(formula(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"),
             col.smth = "darkred", lty.smth=2, span.smth=2/3,
             ask = interactive() && nb.fig < n.tms && .Device !="postscript",
             use.factor.levels=TRUE, smooth=NULL,
             ...)

### Arguments

`model` | fitted model object
`data` | data frame in which variables in `model` can be found
`envir` | environment in which 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=.)`.
`use.factor.levels` | Should x-axis ticks use factor levels or numbers for factor terms?
`smooth` | `NULL` or a function with the same arguments as `panel.smooth` to draw a smooth through the partial residuals for non-factor terms
`lty.smth,col.smth, span.smth` | Passed to `smooth`
`...` | 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.

The `data` argument should rarely be needed, but in some cases `termplot` may be unable to reconstruct the original data frame. Using `na.action=na.exclude` makes these problems less likely.

Nothing sensible happens for interaction terms.

### See Also

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

### Examples

    had.splines <- "package:splines" %in% search()
    if(!had.splines) rs <- require(splines)
    x <- 1:100
    z <- factor(rep(LETTERS[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, se = TRUE, main = TRUE)
    termplot(model, partial=TRUE, smooth=panel.smooth,span.smth=1/4)
    if(!had.splines && rs) detach("package:splines")
