Abstract

We investigate some properties of commonly used residual plots in linear regression and provide some systematic insight into the relationships among the plots. We discuss three issues of linear regression in this stream of context. First of all we introduce two graphical comparison methods to display the variance inflation factor. Secondly we show that the role of a suppressor variable in linear regression can be checked graphiclly. Finally we show that several other types of standardized regression coefficients besides the ordinary one can be obtained in residual plots and the correlation coefficients of one of these residual plots can be used in ranking the relative importance of variables.
