data

a data.frame (or list) from which the variables in formula should be taken.

subset

an optional vector specifying a subset of observations to be used in the fitting process.

na.action

Details

This is a method of the generic function pairs. It operates by setting up the data from the formula specification, and then calling pairs.default.

Examples

data(swiss)
pairs(~ Fertility + Education + Catholic, data = swiss,
      subset = Education < 20, main = "Swiss data, Education < 20")
