residuals function

Extract residuals from an averaging model

Function to extract residuals from an object returned by rav.

residuals(object, ...)

Arguments

• object: An object of class rav containing an estimated averaging model.
• ...: Optionally more fitted model objects.

Details

Returns the residuals of an averaging model fitted by the rav function. When standard = TRUE, residuals will be transformed in z-scale (mean=0 and sd=1 in each column).

As default, the function extract the residuals of the (first) best model. The optional argument whichModel can be specified to extract the values of another model. Options are:

1. "null": null model
2. "ESM": equal scale values model
3. "SAM": simple averaging model
4. "EAM": equal-weights averaging model
5. "DAM": differential-weight averaging model
6. "IC": information criteria model

Returns

A matrix of numeric values.
