R help - Feb 2018 - How to Save the residuals of an LM object greater or less than a certin value to an R object?

Hi Peter,

the "residuals()" function returns the residuals of a model fitted
using
the "lm" function. For instances, using the example included in the
help of
lm:


ctl <- c(4.17,5.58,5.18,6.11,4.50,4.61,5.17,4.53,5.33,5.14)
trt <- c(4.81,4.17,4.41,3.59,5.87,3.83,6.03,4.89,4.32,4.69)
group <- gl(2, 10, 20, labels = c("Ctl","Trt"))
weight <- c(ctl, trt)
lm.D9 <- lm(weight ~ group)

my_res <- residuals(lm.D9)
print(my_res)

The object returned by "residuals()" is a vector, so you can make any
operation with it. For instance:

my_res[my_res >= 0.1]

About your second question, I don't entirely understand what you want. The
"which()" function returns the indexes for which the condition is
TRUE. In
this case, that the absolute value is greater than 2.5.
