Normal QQ-plot with simulated envelope of residuals in Generalized Linear Models

Description

Produces a normal QQ-plot with simulated envelope of residuals for generalized linear models.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'glm'
envelope(
  object,
  rep = 25,
  conf = 0.95,
  type = c("quantile", "deviance", "pearson"),
  standardized = FALSE,
  plot.it = TRUE,
  identify,
  ...
)

Arguments

object	an object of the class glm.
rep	an (optional) positive integer which allows to specify the number of replicates which should be used to build the simulated envelope. As default, rep is set to 25.
conf	an (optional) value in the interval (0,1) indicating the confidence level which should be used to build the pointwise confidence intervals, which form the envelope. As default, conf is set to 0.95.
type	an (optional) character string indicating the type of residuals which should be used. The available options are: randomized quantile ("quantile"), deviance ("deviance") and pearson ("pearson") residuals. As default, type is set to "quantile".
standardized	an (optional) logical switch indicating if the residuals should be standardized by dividing by the square root of (1-h), where h is a measure of leverage. As default, standardized is set to FALSE.
plot.it	an (optional) logical switch indicating if the normal QQ-plot with simulated envelope of residuals is required or just the data matrix in which it is based. As default, plot.it is set to TRUE.
identify	an (optional) positive integer indicating the number of individuals to identify on the QQ-plot with simulated envelope of residuals. This is only appropriate if plot.it=TRUE.
...	further arguments passed to or from other methods. If plot.it=TRUE then ... may be used to include graphical parameters to customize the plot. For example, col, pch, cex, main, sub, xlab, ylab.

Details

In order to construct the simulated envelope, rep independent realizations of the response variable for each individual are simulated, which is done by considering (1) the model assumption about the distribution of the response variable; (2) the estimation of the linear predictor parameters; and (3) the estimation of the dispersion parameter. Each time, the vector of observed responses is replaced with one of the simulated samples, re-fitting the interest model rep times. For each i=1,2,...,n, where n is the number of individuals in the sample, the i-th order statistic of the type-type residuals is computed and then sorted for each replicate, giving a random sample of size rep of the i-th order statistic. In other words, the simulated envelope is comprised of the quantiles (1 - conf)/2 and (1 + conf)/2 of the random sample of size rep of the i-th order statistic of the type-type residuals for i=1,2,...,n.

Value

A matrix with the following four columns:

Lower limit	the quantile (1 - conf)/2 of the random sample of size rep of the i-th order
	statistic of the type-type residuals for i=1,2,...,n,
Median	the quantile 0.5 of the random sample of size rep of the i-th order
	statistic of the type-type residuals for i=1,2,...,n,
Upper limit	the quantile (1 + conf)/2 of the random sample of size rep of the i-th order
	statistic of the type-type residuals for i=1,2,...,n,
Residuals	the observed type-type residuals,
