Exploration of the relationship between a response and a single predictor

Description

A convenience function for generating exploratory graphs and numeric summaries, regression analysis output, and the residual analysis of the simple linear model.

Usage

OnePredictor(Response, Predictor, Data = NULL, 
    Filename = NULL, Folder = NULL, 
    VI = getOption("BrailleR.VI"), Latex = getOption("BrailleR.Latex"), 
   View = getOption("BrailleR.View"), Modern=TRUE)

Arguments

Response

Name of the continuous response variable.

Predictor

Name of the continuous response variable.

Filename

Name of the Rmarkdown and HTML files to be created. A default will be created that uses the names of the variables if this is left set to NULL.

Folder

Name of the folder to store graph and LaTeX files. A default will be created based on the name of the data.frame being used.

VI

Logical: Should the VI method for blind users be employed?

Latex

View

Logical: Should the HTML file be opened for inspection?

Modern
