[R] Force regression line to a 1:1 relationship

[Bert Gunter]

This sounds like you need a mixed effects model (e.g. lme or lmer
instead of lm) instead of the possibly spurious adhocery that you
describe. I suggest you post your message on the SIG-mixed-effects
list and/or get help from a local statistician

Cheers,
Bert

"Men by nature long to get on to the ultimate truths, and will often
be impatient with elementary studies or fight shy of them. If it were
possible to reach the ultimate truths without the elementary studies
usually prefixed to them, these would not be preparatory studies but
superfluous diversions."
