产生良好的线性回归图（拟合线，置信度/预测带等）

Question

我将来会有10年的样本回归。

date<-as.Date(c("2015-12-31", "2014-12-31", "2013-12-31", "2012-12-31"))
value<-c(16348, 14136, 12733, 10737)
#fit linear regression
model<-lm(value~date)
#build predict dataframe
dfuture<-data.frame(date=seq(as.Date("2016-12-31"), by="1 year", length.out = 10))
#predict the futurne
predict(model, dfuture, interval = "prediction")

如何为此添加置信区间？

Answer 1

以下代码将为您生成好看的回归图。我对代码的评论应该清楚地解释一切。代码将在您的问题中使用value，model。

## all date you are interested in, 4 years with observations, 10 years for prediction
all_date <- seq(as.Date("2012-12-31"), by="1 year", length.out = 14)

## compute confidence bands (for all data)
pred.c <- predict(model, data.frame(date=all_date), interval="confidence")

## compute prediction bands (for new data only)
pred.p <- predict(model, data.frame(date=all_date[5:14]), interval="prediction")

## set up regression plot (plot nothing here; only set up range, axis)
ylim <- range(range(pred.c[,-1]), range(pred.p[,-1]))
plot(1:nrow(pred.c), numeric(nrow(pred.c)), col = "white", ylim = ylim,
     xaxt = "n", xlab = "Date", ylab = "prediction",
     main = "Regression Plot")
axis(1, at = 1:nrow(pred.c), labels = all_date)

## shade 95%-level confidence region
polygon(c(1:nrow(pred.c),nrow(pred.c):1), c(pred.c[, 2], rev(pred.c[, 3])),
        col = "grey", border = NA)

## plot fitted values / lines
lines(1:nrow(pred.c), pred.c[, 1], lwd = 2, col = 4)

## add 95%-level confidence bands
lines(1:nrow(pred.c), pred.c[, 2], col = 2, lty = 2, lwd = 2)
lines(1:nrow(pred.c), pred.c[, 3], col = 2, lty = 2, lwd = 2)

## add 95%-level prediction bands
lines(4 + 1:nrow(pred.p), pred.p[, 2], col = 3, lty = 3, lwd = 2)
lines(4 + 1:nrow(pred.p), pred.p[, 3], col = 3, lty = 3, lwd = 2)

## add original observations on the plot
points(1:4, rev(value), pch = 20)

## finally, we add legend
legend(x = "topleft", legend = c("Obs", "Fitted", "95%-CI", "95%-PI"),
       pch = c(20, NA, NA, NA), lty = c(NA, 1, 2, 3), col = c(1, 4, 2, 3),
       text.col = c(1, 4, 2, 3), bty = "n")

JPEG由代码生成：

jpeg("regression.jpeg", height = 500, width = 600, quality = 100)
## the above code
dev.off()
## check your working directory for this JPEG
## use code getwd() to see this director if you don't know

从图中可以看出，

• 当您尝试使预测远离您观察到的数据时，置信区域会变得更宽;
• 预测间隔宽于置信区间。

感谢Alex的简单使用visreg包的演示;但我仍然喜欢使用R base。

Answer 2

您只需使用visreg::visreg

即可

library(visreg)
visreg(model)

如果您对这些值感兴趣：

> head(visreg(model)$fit)
