[R] different results with plot.lm vs. plot.lm(which=c(2))
I am running GLM models using the gamma family. For example: model <-glm(y ~ x, family=Gamma(link="identity")) I am getting different results for the normal Q-Q plot and the Scale-Location plot if I run the diagnostic plots without specifying the plot vs. if I specify the plot ... e.g., "plot(model)" gives me a different Normal Q-Q graph than "plot(model, which=c(2))". The former gives data points distributed in a quadratic pattern, while the latter gives data points more or less along the 1:1 line. Shouldn't these two commands be giving me the same exact graphs? I have read the documentation on plot.lm and searched the help archives, but I am still learning GLM's and I'm not very familiar with understanding diagnostic plots for GLM's, so any help would be much appreciated!
