Ydiagnostics {expandFunctions}

Informative plots for Y and Yhat

Description

This function presents diagnostic plots of estimate Yhat and response Y.

Usage

Ydiagnostics(Y, Yhat, ...)

Arguments

Y

R object representing response, coercible to a vector.

Yhat

R object representing estimate, coercible to a vector. The length of Y and Yhat must be equal.

...

Options for cor function. The defaults are use = "everything" and method = "pearson".

Details

The plots shown are:

• Y vs Yhat. Under a perfect noise-free fitting, this would be a straight line with the points lined up on the red line, and the correlation wpuld be 1.0000.

• Y, Yhat and Y-Yhat (residual) time domain plots. The time steps are in samples.

• These show the ACF for the original Y, the residual, and |residual|. The latter helps identify nonlinearity in the residual.

Value

Invisibly returns TRUE; this routine is only used for its graphical side effects described in Details.

# The order here looks backwards, but is chosen to
# simulate a typical pair - Yhat will normally have
# a smaller range than Y.
