Using R, I would like to plot a linear relationship between two variables, but I would like the fitted line to be present only within the range of the data.
Instead of using abline(), (a) save the fitted model, (b) use predict.lm() to find the fitted y-values corresponding to x=1 and x=10, and then (c) use lines() to add a line between the two points:
f <- lm(y~x)
X <- c(1, 10)
Y <- predict(f, newdata=data.frame(x=X))
plot(x,y)
lines(x=X, y=Y)
