I'm afraid I'm not quite sure what you're looking for -- what do you
mean to "correlate" the residuals?

A random guess suggests that some combination of findInterval() and
sort() might get what you need -- also perhaps cut() or quantile() --
but a small reproducible example would be really helpful here. This
page gives some good advice on how to craft one:
