Plot recipes

[irregular-rhomboid]

This PR builds on the discussion in #581 and provides summary plots of LinearModels for both Plots and Makie. The plots are based on those from R's plot.lm function. While one new lightweight dependency is needed for RecipesBase, the plots are implemented as extensions for StatsPlots and Makie.

Implemented features

• Plots are implemented for the equivalent of R's Residual plot, Scale-Location plot, Q-Q plot, Residuals-Leverage plot and Cook's distance vs leverage plot. The interface for these functions is the same for both plotting packages.
• A summary plot function lmplot displaying the residual plot, Q-Q plot, scale-location plot and residuals-leverage plot. The configurability of this function is limited, however.
• The computation of the leverages has been factored out into a function in lm.jl.
• For the StatsPlots extension, default values for the axis labels and title are provided. This is not available for the Makie extension, except in lmplot.
• Basic docstrings are provided for all the new functions

Not implemented

• Documentation in docs/. This seems like a good thing to add.
• Tests (it is not clear how to test for both plotting packages at the same time)
• Loess smoothing. This is a feature in the R plots which would require another dependency to implement, for unclear benefits.
• Outlier labelling (see last image)

Examples

StatsPlots:

using GLM
using StatsPlots
using RDatasets

data = dataset("datasets", "trees")

l = lm(@formula(Height ~ Girth + Volume), data)

lmplot(l; size = (700,500))

Makie:

using GLM
using CairoMakie
using RDatasets

data = dataset("datasets", "trees")

l = lm(@formula(Height ~ Girth + Volume), data)

lmplot(l; size = (700,500))
