If Clark's model is appropriate for the actual data, then the standardized residuals should appear as independent standard normal random variables. This function creates four plots of standardized residuals on a single page:
By origin
By age
By fitted value
Normal Q-Q plot with results of Shapiro-Wilk test
If the model is appropriate then there should not appear to be any trend in the standardized residuals or any systematic differences in the spread about the line y = 0. The Shapiro-Wilk p-value shown in the fourth plot gives an indication of how closely the standardized residuals can be considered "draws" from a standard normal random variable.

X <- GenIns
Y <- ClarkLDF(GenIns, maxage=Inf, G="weibull")
plot(Y) # One obvious outlier, shapiro test flunked
X[4,4] <- NA # remove the outlier
Z <- ClarkLDF(GenIns, maxage=Inf, G="weibull")
plot(Z) # Q-Q plot looks good
