Extract Model Residuals

Syntax

residuals(x, ...)
resid(x, ...)

Arguments

x an object for which the extraction of model residuals is meaningful.
... other arguments.

Description

residuals is a generic function which extracts model residuals from objects returned by modeling functions. The abbreviated form resid is intended to encourage users to access object components through an accessor function rather than by directly referencing an object slot.

All object classes which are returned by model fitting functions should provide a residuals method.
