Example of Linear Regression Using R

Here is an example of using R to do a simple linear regression.

#MASS package is a very large collection of data sets and #functions
library(MASS) 

#ISLR package includes the data sets associated with this #book
library(ISLR) 

lm.fit=lm(medv∼lstat,data=Boston) 
# medv as a response, lstat as a predictor

summary(lm.fit) # gives us pvalues and standard errors for the coeﬃcients, as well as the R2 statistic and F-statistic for the model

confint(lm.fit) # obtain a confidence interval

predict (lm.fit ,data.frame(lstat=c(5,10,15)), interval="confidence") #prediction in confidence intervals

predict (lm.fit ,data.frame(lstat=c(5,10,15)), interval="prediction") #prediction in prediction intervals

attach(Boston) # attach data to Boston

plot(lstat ,medv) 
abline(lm.fit ,lwd=3,col="red") 
# draw out the regression line
