So my problem is quite simple, I want to plot the exponential regression of my data, so far what I've done was plot the polynomial regression :
ggplot(data = mydataANOVA, aes(x = TpsenJour, y = PrptionJourAuDelaDe, color = Type_Contrat))+
geom_point()+
geom_smooth(method ="lm", formula = y ~ poly(x,2))
The regression isn't exactly a good fit for the actual data but the data looked a lot like an exponential function so I used the logarithm of my data, I used the same code with the log of my data to get the following plot:
Which seemed to be an very accurate fit, so I wanted to compare the two regression models directly by plotting the exponential regression, but when i used the formula formula = y ~ exp(poly(x,2))
, I didn't get the same accurate regression and instead I got something else :
Which is even less accurate than the first one. How am I supposed to get that polynomial exponential regression plotted with the confidence intervals. I managed to get the good regression on the regular plot function but not with the confidence intervals and not in ggplot2. Here is what I got for only one of the two curves:
How can I get the good regression on ggplot2 with the confidence intervals ? Here is the data that I used on one of the 2 curves.

Thank you.
I had a smal problem with the answer of @Roland, where it would return an error, I think I've solved it. I simply had to add two lines : (I hope that by fixing my error I did not alter the originally predicted outcome)
fact<-mydataANOVA$fact
fit <- lm(log(PrptionJourAuDelaDe) ~ poly(TpsenJour, 2) * fact, data = mydataANOVA)
fact<-c(rep('a',1000),rep('b',1000))
pred <- expand.grid(TpsenJour = seq(min(mydataANOVA$TpsenJour), max(mydataANOVA$TpsenJour), length.out = 1e3),
fact = unique(mydataANOVA$fact))
pred <- cbind(pred,
exp(predict(fit,
newdata = data.frame(TpsenJour = pred$TpsenJour),
interval = "confidence")))
ggplot(data = DF, aes(x = TpsenJour, y = PrptionJourAuDelaDe, color = fact)) +
geom_point() +
geom_ribbon(data = pred, aes(y = fit, ymin = lwr, ymax = upr, fill = fact), alpha = 0.3) +
geom_line(data = pred, aes(y = fit, color = fact))
I then get the following plot:
Do the fit outside of ggplot2:
fit <- lm(log(PrptionJourAuDelaDe) ~ poly(TpsenJour, 2) * fact, data = DF)
pred <- expand.grid(TpsenJour = seq(min(DF$TpsenJour), max(DF$TpsenJour), length.out = 1e3),
fact = unique(DF$fact))
pred <- cbind(pred,
exp(predict(fit,
newdata = data.frame(TpsenJour = pred$TpsenJour),
interval = "confidence")))
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(data = DF, aes(x = TpsenJour, y = PrptionJourAuDelaDe, color = fact)) +
geom_point() +
geom_ribbon(data = pred, aes(y = fit, ymin = lwr, ymax = upr, fill = fact), alpha = 0.3) +
geom_line(data = pred, aes(y = fit, color = fact))
Note that I wouldn't call this exponential regression. It's linear regression with a transformed dependent variable (in contrast to a non-linear model, which would need to be fitted with nls
). And its probably not the model I would use.
