residual.plots: Residual plots for a linear model.

Description

Residual plots for a linear model. Four sets of plots are produced: (1) response against each of the predictor variables, (2) residuals against each of the predictor variables, (3) partial residuals for each predictor against that predictor ("partial residuals plots", and (4) partial residuals against the residuals of each predictor regressed on the other predictors ("added variable plots").

Usage

residual.plots(lm.object, X=dft$x,
               layout=c(dim(X)[2],1),
               par.strip.text=list(cex=.8),
               scales.cex=.6,
               na.action=na.pass,
               y.relation="free",
               ...)

Arguments

lm.object

An object inheriting from "lm". It may be necessary for the lm.object to be constructed with arguments x=TRUE, y=TRUE.

The x matrix of predictor variables used in the linear model lm.object.

layout, par.strip.text

trellis or lattice arguments.

scales.cex

cex argument forwarded to the scales argument of xyplot.

na.action

A function to filter missing data. See lm.

y.relation

See relation in the discussion of the scales argument in

…

Other arguments for xysplom or xyplot.

Value

A list of four trellis objects, one for each of the four sets of plots. The objects are named "y.X", "res.X" "pres.X", "pres.Xj". The default "printing" of the result will produce four pages of plots, one set per page. They are often easier to read when all four sets appear as separate rows on one page (this usually requires an oversize device), or two rows are printed on each of two pages.

Examples

Run this code

# NOT RUN {
if.R(s={
     longley <- data.frame(longley.x, Employed = longley.y)
     },r={
     data(longley)
     })

longley.lm <- lm( Employed ~ . , data=longley, x=TRUE, y=TRUE)
## 'x=TRUE, y=TRUE' are needed to pass the S-Plus CMD check.
## They may be needed if residual.plots() is inside a nested set of
## function calls.

tmp <- residual.plots(longley.lm)

## print two rows per page
print(tmp[[1]], position=c(0, 0.5, 1, 1.0), more=TRUE)
print(tmp[[2]], position=c(0, 0.0, 1, 0.5), more=FALSE)
print(tmp[[3]], position=c(0, 0.5, 1, 1.0), more=TRUE)
print(tmp[[4]], position=c(0, 0.0, 1, 0.5), more=FALSE)

## print as a single trellis object
ABCD <- do.call(rbind, lapply(tmp, as.vector))
dimnames(ABCD)[[1]] <- dimnames(tmp[[1]])[[1]]
ABCD
