[R] How to Save the residuals of an LM object greater or less than a certin value to an R object?

[Peter Dalgaard]

Also,

which( abs( stdresiduals ) > 2.5 )

will tell you which of the standardized residuals are bigger than 2.5 in absolute value. It returns a vector of indices, as in

> set.seed(1234)
> x <- rnorm(100)
> which (abs(x) > 2.5)
[1] 62
> x[62]
[1] 2.548991
