Plot any pair of variables — explore

Chooses an appropriate plot for the relationship between two variables according to their types. Two numeric variables are shown as a scatter plot with a fitted trend; a numeric and a categorical variable as box plots of the numeric variable by level; and two categorical variables as a filled bar chart of proportions.

  data,
  x,
  y,
  method = "lm",

  y_lab = NULL
)
