residuals_diagnostics: Normality test of a numeric vector

In spatialRF: Easy Spatial Modeling with Random Forest

Normality test of a numeric vector

Description

Applies a Shapiro-Wilks test to a numeric vector, and plots the qq plot and the histogram.

Usage

residuals_diagnostics(residuals, predictions)

Arguments

residuals	Numeric vector, model residuals.
predictions	Numeric vector, model predictions.

Details

The function shapiro.test() has a hard limit of 5000 cases. If the model residuals have more than 5000 cases, then sample(x = residuals, size = 5000) is applied to the model residuals before the test.

Value

A list with four slots:

/item w W statistic returned by shapiro.test(). /item p.value p-value of the Shapiro test. /item interpretation Character vector, one of "x is normal", "x is not normal". /item plot A patchwork plot with the qq plot and the histogram of x.
