Plot data and regression model fits across a FacetGrid.
This function combines
regplot()
andFacetGrid
. It is intended as a convenient interface to fit regression models across conditional subsets of a dataset.When thinking about how to assign variables to different facets, a general rule is that it makes sense to use
hue
for the most important comparison, followed bycol
androw
. However, always think about your particular dataset and the goals of the visualization you are creating.There are a number of mutually exclusive options for estimating the regression model. See the tutorial for more information.
The parameters to this function span most of the options in
FacetGrid
, although there may be occasional cases where you will want to use that class andregplot()
directly.- Parameters:
- dataDataFrame
Tidy (“long-form”) dataframe where each column is a variable and each row is an observation.
- x, ystrings, optional
Input variables; these should be column names in
data
.- hue, col, rowstrings
Variables that define subsets of the data, which will be drawn on separate facets in the grid. See the
*_order
parameters to control the order of levels of this variable.- palettepalette name, list, or dict
Colors to use for the different levels of the
hue
variable. Should be something that can be interpreted bycolor_palette()
, or a dictionary mapping hue levels to matplotlib colors.- col_wrapint
“Wrap” the column variable at this width, so that the column facets span multiple rows. Incompatible with a
row
facet.- heightscalar
Height (in inches) of each facet. See also:
aspect
.- aspectscalar
Aspect ratio of each facet, so that
aspect * height
gives the width of each facet in inches.- markersmatplotlib marker code or list of marker codes, optional
Markers for the scatterplot. If a list, each marker in the list will be used for each level of the
hue
variable.- share{x,y}bool, ‘col’, or ‘row’ optional
If true, the facets will share y axes across columns and/or x axes across rows.
Deprecated since version 0.12.0: Pass using the
facet_kws
dictionary.- {hue,col,row}_orderlists, optional
Order for the levels of the faceting variables. By default, this will be the order that the levels appear in
data
or, if the variables are pandas categoricals, the category order.- legendbool, optional
If
True
and there is ahue
variable, add a legend.- legend_outbool
If
True
, the figure size will be extended, and the legend will be drawn outside the plot on the center right.Deprecated since version 0.12.0: Pass using the
facet_kws
dictionary.- x_estimatorcallable that maps vector -> scalar, optional
Apply this function to each unique value of
x
and plot the resulting estimate. This is useful whenx
is a discrete variable. Ifx_ci
is given, this estimate will be bootstrapped and a confidence interval will be drawn.- x_binsint or vector, optional
Bin the
x
variable into discrete bins and then estimate the central tendency and a confidence interval. This binning only influences how the scatterplot is drawn; the regression is still fit to the original data. This parameter is interpreted either as the number of evenly-sized (not necessary spaced) bins or the positions of the bin centers. When this parameter is used, it implies that the default ofx_estimator
isnumpy.mean
.- x_ci“ci”, “sd”, int in [0, 100] or None, optional
Size of the confidence interval used when plotting a central tendency for discrete values of
x
. If"ci"
, defer to the value of theci
parameter. If"sd"
, skip bootstrapping and show the standard deviation of the observations in each bin.- scatterbool, optional
If
True
, draw a scatterplot with the underlying observations (or thex_estimator
values).- fit_regbool, optional
If
True
, estimate and plot a regression model relating thex
andy
variables.- ciint in [0, 100] or None, optional
Size of the confidence interval for the regression estimate. This will be drawn using translucent bands around the regression line. The confidence interval is estimated using a bootstrap; for large datasets, it may be advisable to avoid that computation by setting this parameter to None.
- n_bootint, optional
Number of bootstrap resamples used to estimate the
ci
. The default value attempts to balance time and stability; you may want to increase this value for “final” versions of plots.- unitsvariable name in
data
, optional If the
x
andy
observations are nested within sampling units, those can be specified here. This will be taken into account when computing the confidence intervals by performing a multilevel bootstrap that resamples both units and observations (within unit). This does not otherwise influence how the regression is estimated or drawn.- seedint, numpy.random.Generator, or numpy.random.RandomState, optional
Seed or random number generator for reproducible bootstrapping.
- orderint, optional
If
order
is greater than 1, usenumpy.polyfit
to estimate a polynomial regression.- logisticbool, optional
If
True
, assume thaty
is a binary variable and usestatsmodels
to estimate a logistic regression model. Note that this is substantially more computationally intensive than linear regression, so you may wish to decrease the number of bootstrap resamples (n_boot
) or setci
to None.- lowessbool, optional
If
True
, usestatsmodels
to estimate a nonparametric lowess model (locally weighted linear regression). Note that confidence intervals cannot currently be drawn for this kind of model.- robustbool, optional
If
True
, usestatsmodels
to estimate a robust regression. This will de-weight outliers. Note that this is substantially more computationally intensive than standard linear regression, so you may wish to decrease the number of bootstrap resamples (n_boot
) or setci
to None.- logxbool, optional
If
True
, estimate a linear regression of the form y ~ log(x), but plot the scatterplot and regression model in the input space. Note thatx
must be positive for this to work.- {x,y}_partialstrings in
data
or matrices Confounding variables to regress out of the
x
ory
variables before plotting.- truncatebool, optional
If
True
, the regression line is bounded by the data limits. IfFalse
, it extends to thex
axis limits.- {x,y}_jitterfloats, optional
Add uniform random noise of this size to either the
x
ory
variables. The noise is added to a copy of the data after fitting the regression, and only influences the look of the scatterplot. This can be helpful when plotting variables that take discrete values.- {scatter,line}_kwsdictionaries
Additional keyword arguments to pass to
plt.scatter
andplt.plot
.- facet_kwsdict

Notes
The
regplot()
andlmplot()
functions are closely related, but the former is an axes-level function while the latter is a figure-level function that combinesregplot()
andFacetGrid
.Examples
See the
regplot()
docs for demonstrations of various options for specifying the regression model, which are also accepted here.Plot a regression fit over a scatter plot:
sns.lmplot(data=penguins, x="bill_length_mm", y="bill_depth_mm")
Condition the regression fit on another variable and represent it using color:
sns.lmplot(data=penguins, x="bill_length_mm", y="bill_depth_mm", hue="species")
Condition the regression fit on another variable and split across subplots:
sns.lmplot( data=penguins, x="bill_length_mm", y="bill_depth_mm", hue="species", col="sex", height=4, )
Condition across two variables using both columns and rows:
sns.lmplot( data=penguins, x="bill_length_mm", y="bill_depth_mm", col="species", row="sex", height=3, )
Allow axis limits to vary across subplots:
sns.lmplot( data=penguins, x="bill_length_mm", y="bill_depth_mm", col="species", row="sex", height=3, facet_kws=dict(sharex=False, sharey=False), )
