how to plot the linear regression in R?

Question

I want to make the following case of linear regression in R

year<-rep(2008:2010,each=4)
quarter<-rep(1:4,3)
cpi<-c(162.2,164.6,166.5,166.0,166.4,167         


        

Answer 1

The error lies in the way you're data was formatted. Here is another option:

year<-seq(from=2008,to=2010.75,by=.25)
cpi<-c(162.2,164.6,166.5,166.0,166.4,167.0,168.6,169.5,170.0,172.0,173.3,174.0)
df <- data.frame(year,cpi)
plot(df)+abline(lm(df$cpi~df$year))

Then you can reformat the axes labels if you like.
