\title{Add a smoothed conditional mean.}
\usage{
  geom_smooth(mapping = NULL, data = NULL, stat = "smooth",
    position = "identity", ...)
}
\arguments{
  \item{mapping}{The aesthetic mapping, usually constructed
  with \code{\link{aes}} or \code{\link{aes_string}}. Only
  needs to be set at the layer level if you are overriding
  the plot defaults.}

  \item{data}{A layer specific dataset - only needed if you
  want to override the plot defaults.}

  \item{stat}{The statistical transformation to use on the
  data for this layer.}

  \item{position}{The position adjustment to use for
  overlappling points on this layer}

  \item{...}{other arguments passed on to
  \code{\link{layer}}. This can include aesthetics whose
  values you want to set, not map. See \code{\link{layer}}
  for more details.}
