Four plots (selectable by which) are currently provided:
a plot of the standardized residuals versus their index,
a plot of the standardized residuals versus fitted values,
a Normal Q-Q plot of the standardized residuals, and
a regression diagnostic plot (standardized residuals versus
robust distances of the predictor variables).
Usage
## S3 method for class 'lts'
plot(x, which = c("all","rqq","rindex","rfit","rdiag"),
classic=FALSE, ask=(which=="all" && dev.interactive()), id.n, ...)
Arguments
x
a lts object, typically result of ltsReg.
which
string indicating which plot to show. See the
Details section for a description of the options. Defaults
to "all".
.
classic
whether to plot the classical distances too. Default is
FALSE.
.
ask
logical indicating if the user should be asked
before each plot, see par(ask=.). Defaults to
which == "all" && dev.interactive().
id.n
number of observations to be identified by a label starting
with the most extreme. Default is the number of identified outliers
(can be different for the different plots - see Details).
...
other parameters to be passed through to plotting functions.
Details
This function produces several plots based on the robust and classical
regression estimates.
Which of them to select is specified by the attribute which.
The possible options are:
rqq:
Normal Q-Q plot of the standardized residuals;
rindex:
plot of the standardized residuals versus their
index;
rfit:
plot of the standardized residuals versus fitted
values;
rdiag:
regression diagnostic plot.
The normal quantile plot produces a normal Q-Q plot of the
standardized residuals.
A line is drawn which passes through the first and third quantile.
The id.n residuals with largest distances from this line are
identified by labels (the observation number). The default for
id.n is the number of regression outliers (lts.wt==0).
In the Index plot and in the Fitted values plot the standardized
residuals are displayed against the observation number or the fitted
value respectively.
A horizontal dashed line is drawn at 0 and two solid horizontal lines are
located at +2.5 and -2.5. The id.n residuals with largest absolute values are
identified by labels (the observation number). The default for id.n is the
number regression outliers (lts.wt==0).
The regression diagnostic plot, introduced by Rousseeuw and van
Zomeren (1990), displays the standardized residuals versus robust
distances. Following Rousseeuw and van Zomeren (1990), the
horizontal dashed lines are located at +2.5 and -2.5 and the
vertical line is located at the upper 0.975 percent point of the
chi-squared distribution with p degrees of freedom. The id.n residuals
with largest absolute values and/or largest robust Mahalanobis distances are
identified by labels (the observation number). The default for id.n is
the number of all outliers: regression outliers (lts.wt==0) + leverage
(bad and good) points (RD > 0.975 percent point of the chi-squared
distribution with p degrees of freedom).
