Defines functions gg_scalelocation

Documented in gg_scalelocation

#' Plot scale-location (also called spread-location plot) in ggplot.
#'
#' @param fitted.lm a fitted linear model (i.e. lm, glm) that contains fitted regression
#' @param method smoothing method of fitted line on scale-location plot.
#'          eg. "lm", "glm", "gam", "loess", "rlm". See \url{https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/geom_smooth.html}
#'          for more details.
#' @param se logical; determines whether se belt should be plotted on plot
#' @param scale.factor numeric; scales the point size and linewidth to allow customized viewing. Defaults to 1.
#' @return A ggplot object that contains scale-location graph
#' @examples library(MASS)
#' data(Cars93)
#' cars_lm <- lm(Price ~ Passengers + Length + RPM, data = Cars93)
#' gg_scalelocation(cars_lm)
