| leverage.plots {car} | R Documentation | 
These functions display a generalization, due to Sall (1990), of added-variable plots to multiple-df terms in a linear model. When a term has just 1 df, the leverage plot is a rescaled version of the usual added-variable (partial-regression) plot.
leverage.plots(model, term.name, ask=missing(term.name), ...)
leverage.plot(model, ...)
## S3 method for class 'lm':
leverage.plot(model, term.name, 
  labels=names(residuals(model)[!is.na(residuals(model))]),  
  identify.points=TRUE, las=par('las'), col=palette()[2], pch=1, lwd=2, 
  main="Leverage Plot", ...)
## S3 method for class 'glm':
leverage.plot(model, ...)
model | 
model object produced by lm | 
term.name | 
name of term in the model to be plotted; this argument is usually
omitted for leverage.plots. | 
ask | 
if TRUE, a menu is provided in the R Console for the
user to select the term(s) to plot. | 
labels | 
observation names. | 
identify.points | 
if TRUE, then identify points interactively. | 
las | 
if 0, ticks labels are drawn parallel to the
axis; set to 1 for horizontal labels (see par). | 
col | 
color for points and lines; the default is the second entry
in the current color palette (see palette
and par). | 
pch | 
plotting character for points; default is 1 
(a circle, see par). | 
lwd | 
line width; default is 2 (see par). | 
main | 
title for plot. | 
... | 
arguments passed down to method functions. | 
The function intended for direct use is leverage.plots. By default, this
function is used interactively through a text menu.
The model can contain factors and interactions. A leverage plot can be drawn for each term in the model, including the constant.
leverage.plot.glm is a dummy function, which generates an error message.
NULL. These functions are used for their side effect: producing
plots.
