I have a mortality data over many years  and I wish to plot the data and also add some smoother to clearly highlight the trend. How could I do that in R with base graphics or ggplot? I have the following sample data: require(lubridate) mdate<-seq(ymd('2000-01-01'),ymd('2010-12-31'), by = '1 day') death<- rnorm(4018, 80, 45) df<-cbind(mdate,death)
