I just read the Equity thread Morny faciliated. Very informative, and well stated. This thread is asking a different question:

How is the rake accounted for in the 'Luck Adjusted Winnings' line in the Tourney/Results/Graph?

When playing SNGs, the rake is inherently included in the 'Actual Winnings' line because it is an actual cost. But, the 'Luck adjusted Winnings' line is baesd on equity calculations, that are based on the payout pool. Payout pools exclude the rake.

I believe that the 'Luck adjusted winnings' line excludes the rake, therefore exagerates the projected winnings given average luck.

For example, after 800 SNGs, your stats are:
Actual Winnings = $3,000
Luck Adjusted Winnings = $9,000
Rake = $2,000

If given average luck, you would have won $7,000; $9,000 less the rake which is not considered in the calculation.

Please confirm.

I've played 5000 SNGs.
Actual Winnings = $4500
Luck Adjusted Winnings = $4000
Rake = $7900

Based on that, I'd say rake is included in the calculations.
