These functions draw ellipses, including data ellipses, and confidence ellipses for linear, generalized linear, and possibly other models.

2-element vector with coordinates of center of ellipse.
\(2\times 2\) shape (or covariance) matrix.
radius of circle generating the ellipse.
when an ellipse is to be added to an existing plot, indicates
whether computations were on logged values and to be plotted on logged
axes; "x" if the x-axis is logged, "y" if the y-axis is
logged, and "xy" or "yx" if both axes are logged. The
default is "", indicating that neither axis is logged.
character for plotting ellipse center; if FALSE or NULL the center point isn't plotted.
relative size of character for plotting ellipse center.
number of line-segments used to draw ellipse.
if TRUE produce graphical output; if FALSE, only invisibly return coordinates of ellipse(s).
if TRUE add ellipse(s) to current plot.
label for horizontal axis.
label for vertical axis.
a numeric vector, or (if y is missing) a 2-column numeric matrix.
a numeric vector, of the same length as x.
optional: a factor to divide the data into groups; a separate ellipse will be plotted for each group (level of the factor).
labels to be plotted for the groups; by default, the levels of the groups factor.
a label for the ellipse(s) or a vector of labels; if several ellipses are drawn and just one label is given, then that label will be repeated. The default is not to label the ellipses.
if FALSE data ellipses are drawn,
but points are not plotted.
draw elliptical contours at these (normal) probability or confidence levels.
if TRUE use the cov.trob function in the MASS package
to calculate the center and covariance matrix for the data ellipse.
a model object produced by lm or glm.
2-element vector giving indices of coefficients to plot; if missing, the first two coefficients (disregarding the regression constant) will be selected.
As an alternative to selecting coefficients to plot, a transformation matrix can be specified to compute two
linear combinations of the coefficients; if the L matrix is given, it takes precedence over the which.coef
argument. L should have two rows and as many columns as there are coefficients. It can be given directly as a
numeric matrix, or specified by a pair of character-valued expressions, in the same manner as for the
link{linearHypothesis} function, but with no right-hand side.
if TRUE scale the ellipse so that its projections onto the
axes give Scheffe confidence intervals for the coefficients.
``numerator'' degrees of freedom (or just degrees of freedom for a GLM) for
drawing the confidence ellipse. Defaults to the number of coefficients in the model (disregarding the constant) if
Scheffe is TRUE, or to 2 otherwise; selecting dfn = 1 will
draw the ``confidence-interval generating'' ellipse, with projections on the axes
corresponding to individual confidence intervals with the stated level of coverage.
if TRUE, the confidence ellipse for the coefficients in a generalized linear model are
based on the chisquare statistic, if FALSE on the $F$-statistic. This corresponds to using the default
and linear-model methods respectively.
color for lines and ellipse center; the default is the second entry
in the current color palette (see palette
and par). For dataEllipse, two colors can be given, in
which case the first is for plotted points and the second for lines and the ellipse center;
if ellipses are plotted for groups, then this is a vector of colors for the groups.
for dataEllipse this is the plotting character (default, symbol 1, a hollow circle)
to use for the points; if ellipses are plotted by groups, then this a vector of plotting characters,
with consecutive symbols starting with 1 as the default.
line width; default is 2 (see par).
fill the ellipse with translucent color col (default, FALSE)?
transparency of fill (default = 0.3).
other plotting parameters to be passed to plot and
line.
Arguments for the labelling of
points. The default is id.n=0 for labeling no points. See
showLabels for details of these arguments.
If TRUE, the default, a light-gray background grid is put on the graph
These functions are mainly used for their side effect of producing plots. For
greater flexibility (e.g., adding plot annotations), however, ellipse returns invisibly the (x, y) coordinates of the calculated ellipse.
dataEllipse and confidenceEllipse return invisibly the coordinates of one or more ellipses, in the latter instance a list named by
levels.
The ellipse is computed by suitably transforming a unit circle.
dataEllipse superimposes the normal-probability contours over a scatterplot
of the data.
