The following code demonstrates an annoyance with plot.lm():
library(DAAGxtras)
x11(width=3.75, height=4)
nihills.lm <- lm(log(time) ~ log(dist) + log(climb), data = nihills)
plot(nihills.lm, which=5)
OR try the following
xy <- data.frame(x=c(3,1:5), y=c(-2, 1:5))
plot(lm(y ~ x, data=xy), which=5)
The "Cook's distance" text overplots the label for the point with the
smallest residual. This is an issue when the size of the plot is much
less than the default, and the pointsize is not reduced proportionately.
I suggest the following:
xx <- hii
xx[xx >= 1] <- NA
## Insert new code
fracht <- (1.25*par()$cin[2])/par()$pin[2]
ylim[1] <- ylim[1] - diff(ylim)*max(0, fracht-0.04)
## End insert new code
plot(xx, rsp, xlim = c(0, max(xx, na.rm = TRUE)),
ylim = ylim, main = main, xlab = "Leverage",
ylab = ylab5, type = "n", ...)
Then, about 15 lines further down, replace
legend("bottomleft", legend = "Cook's distance",
lty = 2, col = 2, bty = "n")
by
legend("bottomleft", legend = "Cook's distance",
lty = 2, col = 2, bty = "n", y.intersp=0.5)
If this second change is not made, then one wants fracht <- (1.5*par()
$cin[2])/par()$pin[2]
I prefer the "Cook's distance" text to be a bit closer to the x-axis,
as it separates it more clearly from any point labels.
