The preceding scatterplot demonstrates that these data may not be linear.

In this tutorial, we will explore the a linear, quadratic, and cubic model.

To center a variable, simply subtract its mean from each data point and save the result into a new R variable, as demonstrated below.

Once the input variable has been centered, the higher order terms can be created.

we can simply multiply our centered term from step one and save the result into a new R variable, as demonstrated below.

Now we have all of the pieces necessary to assemble our linear and curvilinear models.

In this case, the quadratic and cubic terms are not statistically significant themselves nor are their models statistically significant beyond the linear model.

it can be helpful to summarize and compare our potential models using the summary(MODEL) and anova(MODEL1, MODEL2,… MODELi) functions.

The regression topics covered in these tutorials can be mixed and matched to create exceedingly complex models.

The good news is that more complex models can be created using the same techniques covered here. The basic principles remain the same.

R is a software package especially suitable for data analysis and graphical representation. Functions and results of analysis are all stored as objects, allowing easy function modification and model building. R provides the language, tool, and environment in one convenient package. It is very flexible and highly customizable. Excellent graphical tools make R an ideal environment for EDA (Exploratory Data Analysis). Since most high level functions are written in R language itself, you can learn the language by studying the function code.
