R help - Oct 2007 - Documentation for Pearson Residuals

Greetings,

 

I have been using lm to perform weighted linear regressions and resid to
extract the residuals. I happened upon some class notes on the internet that
described how one can specify type="pearson" in resid to extract the
weighted residuals. Where is this option documented? And if you know that,
what is the best way to find such documentation if you don't know that the
option exists? Thanks for the advice.

?residuals.lm

What I would do is look at the documentation for the specific
*method*.  If you just look at the documentation for the generic
function, you won't find what you are looking for.
