These functions construct added-variable, also called partial-regression, plots for linear and generalized linear models.

model object produced by lm or glm.
A one-sided formula that specifies a subset of the predictors.
One added-variable plot is drawn for each term. For example, the
specification terms = ~.-X3 would plot against all terms
except for X3. If this argument is a quoted name of one of the terms, the
added-variable plot is drawn for that term only.
Include the intercept in the plots; default is FALSE.
A quoted string giving the name of a regressor in the model matrix for the horizontal axis.
If set to a value like c(1, 1) or c(4, 3), the layout
of the graph will have this many rows and columns. If not set, the program
will select an appropriate layout. If the number of graphs exceed nine, you
must select the layout yourself, or you will get a maximum of nine per page.
If layout=NA, the function does not set the layout and the user can
use the par function to control the layout, for example to have
plots from two models in the same graphics window.
The title of the plot; if missing, one will be supplied.
If TRUE, ask the user before drawing the next plot; if FALSE don't ask.
avPlots passes these arguments to avPlot.
avPlot passes them to plot.
controls point identification; if FALSE, no points are identified;
can be a list of named arguments to the showLabels function;
TRUE, the default, is equivalent to
list(method=list(abs(residuals(model, type="pearson")), "x"), n=2, cex=1, col=carPalette()[1], location="lr"),
which identifies the 2 points with the largest residuals and the 2 points with
the most extreme horizontal values (i.e., largest partial leverage).
color for points; the default is the second entry
in the current car palette (see carPalette
and par).
color for the fitted line.
plotting character for points; default is 1
(a circle, see par).
line width; default is 2 (see par).
x-axis label. If omitted a label will be constructed.
y-axis label. If omitted a label will be constructed.
if "Wang" use the method of Wang (1985);
if "Weisberg" use the method in the Arc software associated with
Cook and Weisberg (1999).
If TRUE, the default, a light-gray background grid is put on the graph.
controls plotting data-concentration ellipses. If FALSE (the default), no ellipses are plotted.
Can be a list of named values giving levels, a vector of one or more bivariate-normal probability-contour levels at which to
plot the ellipses; and robust, a logical value determing whether to use the cov.trob function in the MASS package
to calculate the center and covariance matrix for the data ellipses. TRUE is equivalent to list(levels=c(.5, .95), robust=TRUE).
Consider an added-variable plot of Y versus X given Z. If this argument is FALSE then the limits on the horizontal axis are determined by the range of the residuals from the regression of X on Z and the limits on the vertical axis are determined by the range of the residuals from the regressnio of Y on Z. If the argument is TRUE, then the limits on the horizontal axis are determined by the range of X minus it mean, and on the vertical axis by the range of Y minus its means; adjustment is made if necessary to include outliers. This scaling allows visualization of the correlations between Y and Z and between X and Z. For example, if the X and Z are highly correlated, then the points will be concentrated on the middle of the plot.
These functions are used for their side effect id producing plots, but also invisibly return the coordinates of the plotted points.
The function intended for direct use is avPlots (for which avp
is an abbreviation).
