residualplot: Plots a standardaized residual

Description

Plots a standardized residual plot from an lm object and provides additional graphics to help evaluate the variance homogeneity and mean.

Usage

residualplot(object, bandwidth = 0.3, ...)

Arguments

object

lm object

bandwidth

The width of the window used to calculate the local smoothed version of the mean and the variance. Value should be between 0 and 1 and determines the percentage of the windowwidth used

...

Other arguments passed to the plot function

Value

• Produces a standardized residual plot

Details

Plots a standardized residual plot from an lm object and provides additional graphics to help evaluate the variance homogeneity and mean.

The brown area is a smoothed estimate of 1.96*SD of the standardized residuals in a window around the predicted value. The brown area should largely be rectangular if the standardized residuals have more or less the same variance.

The dashed line shows the smoothed mean of the standardized residuals and should generally follow the horizontal line through (0,0).
