在Vega Lite（Deneb）中实现回归类型参数化切换的方法问询

核心问题说明 #

Vega Lite的regression transform的method参数不支持直接用表达式引用参数，所以直接写"method": {"expr": "regressionline"}会失效。我们可以通过多图层+参数控制可见性的方式实现动态切换，同时同步更新R²指标。

解决方案代码 #

以下是修改后的完整配置，实现了单选参数切换所有回归类型，同步更新回归线和R²文本：

关键修改点说明 #

1. 参数控制可见性：为每个回归类型单独创建回归线和R²文本图层，通过encoding.visibility绑定regressionline参数，只有当参数值与当前图层的回归类型匹配时，图层才会显示。
2. 保留原有可视化元素：热力图、散点图图层保持原配置不变，不影响原有功能。
3. 优化参数交互：为单选框添加了中文标签，提升可读性（可根据需求移除）。

替代优化方案（进阶） #

如果觉得多图层太冗余，可以使用Vega的底层信号（Signal）结合自定义transform来动态生成回归计算，但这种方式需要编写更多Vega原生逻辑，在Deneb中兼容性稍差。上述多图层方案是最直观、易维护的实现方式，适合大多数场景。
