[R] Deviance Residuals

[Renzo Tascheri]

Dear Dr. Iasonas,

perhaps the following reference could also be useful:

Dunn, P.K., Smyth, G.K., 1996. Randomized quantile residuals. J. Comput. Graph.
Stat. 5, 236–244.

An introduction to this residual definition and a link to the paper could be
find here:

http://www.statsci.org/smyth/pubs/residual.html

This type of residuals can be easily computed in R, using the qresiduals
function, provided by the statmod package. For a binomial response, the code
would be as follows:

qres.binom(glm.obj)


I hope this also helps,
