Plots for objects of clases dblm or dbglm

Description

Six plots (selected by which) are available: a plot of residual vs fitted values, the Q-Qplot of normality, a Scale-Location plot of sqrt(|residuals|) against fitted values. A plot of Cook's distances versus row labels, a plot of residuals against leverages, and the optimal effective rank of "OCV", "GCV", "AIC" or "BIC" method (only if one of these four methods have been chosen in function dblm). By default, only the first three and 5 are provided.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'dblm'
plot(x,which=c(1:3, 5),id.n=3,main="",
        cook.levels = c(0.5, 1),cex.id = 0.75,
        type.pred=c("link","response"),...)

Arguments

x	an object of class dblm or dbglm.
which	if a subset of the plots is required, specify a subset of the numbers 1:6.
id.n	number of points to be labelled in each plot, starting with the most extreme.
main	an overall title for the plot. Only if one of the six plots is selected.
cook.levels	levels of Cook's distance at which to draw contours.
cex.id	magnification of point labels.
type.pred	the type of prediction (required only for a dbglm class object). Like predict.dbglm, the default "link" is on the scale of the linear predictors; the alternative "response" is on the scale of the response variable.
...	other parameters to be passed through to plotting functions.

Details

The five first plots are very useful to the residual analysis and are the same that plot.lm. A plot of residuals against fitted values sees if the variance is constant. The qq-plot checks if the residuals are normal (see qqnorm). The plot between "Scale-Location" and the fitted values takes the square root of the absolute residuals in order to diminish skewness. The Cook's distance against the row labels, measures the effect of deleting a given observation (estimate of the influence of a data point). Points with a large Cook's distance are considered to merit closer examination in the analysis. Finally, the Residual-Leverage plot also shows the most influence points (labelled by Cook's distance). See cooks.distance.

The last plot, allows to view the "OCV" (just for dblm), "GCV", "AIC" or "BIC" criterion according to the used rank in the dblm or dbglm functions, and chosen the minimum. Applies only if the parameter full.search its TRUE.
