Parametric Fitting
3-65
The graphical results show that the linear model is reasonable for the majority
of data points, and the residuals appear to be randomly scattered around zero.
However, two residuals stand out. The largest residual corresponds to Palm
Beach County. The other residual is at the largest predictor value, and
corresponds to Miami/Dade County.
The numerical results are shown below. The inverse slope of the robust fit
indicates that Buchanan should receive one vote for every 197.4 Bush votes.
The data, robust and regular least squares fits, and residuals for the
buchanan
vs.
gore data set are shown below.
The Miami/Dade and
Broward County residuals
are also very large.
The Palm Beach County
residual is very large.
