Thermocouple data

T <- c(273, 293, 313, 333, 353, 373, 393, 413, 433, 453)
plot(V, T)
model <- lm(T ~ V)
summary(model)
coef(model)
confint(model) # get the coefficient confidence intervals
resid(model) # model residuals
qqPlot(resid(model)) # q-q plot of the residuals to check normality
plot(V, T)
v.new <- seq(0, 1.5, 0.1)
t.pred <- coef(model)[1] + coef(model)[2]*v.new
lines(v.new, t.pred, type="l", col="blue")
# Plot x against the residuals to check for non-linearity
plot(V, resid(model))
abline(h=0)
# Plot the raw data and the regression line in red
plot(V, T)
abline(model, col="red")
