[R] Adjusting two continuous variables by one continuous vari able

[Liaw, Andy]

Graphically, you can use coplot() or lattice to see how the relationship
between height and weight changes with age.

With a linear model, you can do something like:

lm(height ~ weight * age, ...)

and work out the interpretation of the coefficients.
