- rebuild some graphics from the book Knoblauch/Maloney: Modeling Psychophysical Data
- from chapter 2 (Modeling), plotting age dependence of threshold for each level combination of Mtype and Sex using ggplot2 (page 27)
- instead of the two panels we use two smooth() layers, loess is the default method for group sizes < 1000, so we only have to tell ggplot to use "lm" as method for one layer
- we set se to F (se=F) in both of them which prevents the convidence intervals from being plotted
- size, linetype, and colour are the corresponding parameters to lwd, lty, and col respectively
- a nice list of line types and shapes of points
- to plot a separate figure for every combination we use facet_wrap()
