Quotes of the Week

By using the autoplot() function from the "ggfortify" package I can check assumptions for linear models:
-Q-Q plot: normality
-Residuals vs Fitted: linear relationship
-Scale-Location: homogeneity of the variance
-Residuals vs Leverage/Cook's distance: influential cases#rstats pic.twitter.com/GksKYXYVfg
