Accessing Linear Model Fits

Description

All these functions are methods for class "lm" objects.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'lm':
family(object, ...)

## S3 method for class 'lm':
formula(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'lm':
residuals(object,
          type = c("working", "response", "deviance","pearson", "partial"),
          ...)

weights(object, ...)

Arguments

object, x an object inheriting from class lm, usually the result of a call to lm or aov.
... further arguments passed to or from other methods.
type the type of residuals which should be returned.

Details

The generic accessor functions coef, effects, fitted and residuals can be used to extract various useful features of the value returned by lm.

The working and response residuals are “observed - fitted”. The deviance and pearson residuals are weighted residuals, scaled by the square root of the weights used in fitting. The partial residuals are a matrix with each column formed by omitting a term from the model. In all these, zero weight cases are never omitted (as opposed to the standardized rstudent residuals).

Examples


##-- Continuing the  lm(.) example:
coef(lm.D90)# the bare coefficients

## The 2 basic regression diagnostic plots [plot.lm(.) is preferred]
plot(resid(lm.D90), fitted(lm.D90))# Tukey-Anscombe's
abline(h=0, lty=2, col = 'gray')

qqnorm(residuals(lm.D90))
