weighted.residuals() is currently really only used in lm.influence.R;
but the `trouble' is that these {lm diagnostics functions} really all drop
the cases with weight=0.
I'm currently updating documentation {still using fixed deviance.lm() etc}.
weighted.residuals() now has
\title{Computed Weighted Residuals}
\usage{
weighted.residuals(obj, drop0 = TRUE)
}
\arguments{
\item{obj}{\R object, typically of class \code{\link{lm}} or \code{\link{glm}}.}
\item{drop0}{logical. If \code{TRUE}, drop all cases with
\code{\link{weights} == 0}.}
}
