Plots residuals of a model against fitted values and for some models a QQ-plot of these residuals. Optionally, a Shapiro-Wilk test can be performed on residuals. The function deals with lm (including glm, lmList, lmList, glm.nb, mlm and manova), lmer, glmer, glmmPQL, glmmadmb, lme, gls, nls, nlsList, survreg and least.rect models.

logical. If TRUE and if model is based on a Gaussian distribution, a Shapiro-Wilk test is performed on residuals.
Response residuals are used for linear models, non linear models and generalized linear models based on an identity link. Pearson or studentized residuals are used whenever there is a link function which is not identity.
QQ-plots and Shapiro-Wilk tests are available whenever the model is based on a Gaussian distribution.
With a mlm or manova model, only a multivariate QQ-plot is drawn. The test performed when shapiro=TRUE is a Shapiro-Wilk test for multivariate normality.
