Residual plots can be used to validate assumptions about the regression model. Figure 1: Residual plots are helpful in assessments of nonlinear trends and heteroscedasticity. A formal test of lack of ...

We investigate properties of a diagnostic-envelope method for evaluating normal probability plots of regression residuals that was proposed by Atkinson (1981), implemented by BMDP (Hardwick 1987), and ...

Residual plots and diagnostic techniques are important tools for examining the fit of a regression model. In the case of least squares fits, plots of residuals provide a visual assessment of the ...

What are standardized residuals? How do I calculate it? How do I use it and interpret it? What are its benefits? The answers to these questions and more can be found below. Before you can understand ...

Logistic regression is a powerful statistical method that is used to model the probability that a set of explanatory (independent or predictor) variables predict data in an outcome (dependent or ...

In recent columns we showed how linear regression can be used to predict a continuous dependent variable given other independent variables 1,2. When the dependent variable is categorical, a common ...
