Hello all, 

I looking for confirmation of what I'm seeing. The qq plot in gam.check
and qq.gam is not standardizing the residuals. 

The current help doesn't suggest they're standardized.

Somehow I found, online, a help for gam.check from  version [Package
mgcv version 1.3-23 Index]:

"If the fit method is based on magic or gam.fit2 then there is no global
search and the problems with phantom local minima are much reduced. The
first plot in this case will simply be a normal QQ plot of the
standardized residuals."

 

This text is absent from the current help file.

If I'm correct, why is it that they aren't being standardized?

Much appreciated.

Michael
