Just as for the assessment of linearity, a commonly used graphical method is to use the residual versus fitted plot see above. If the variance of the residuals is nonconstant then the residual variance is said to be heteroscedastic.

The residuals versus fits graph plots the residuals on the yaxis and the fitted values on the xaxis. In the graph above, you can predict nonzero values for the residuals based on the fitted value. The first plot seems to indicate that the residuals and the fitted values are uncorrelated, as they should be in a homoscedastic linear model with normally distributed errors.

If almost all of your residuals are positive, that indicates that model is positively biased. There is a clear inverted u shape to the points, which means that there is a pattern in the data that is not captured by the linear model. I often also find it useful to plot the absolute value of the residuals with the fitted values. For the love of physics walter lewin may 16, 2011 duration. The binned residuals plot instead, after dividing the data into categories bins based on their fitted values, the average residual versus the average fitted value for each bin. For example, the median, which is just a special name for the 50thpercentile, is the value so that 50%, or half, of your measurements fall below the value. The residuals bounce randomly around the residual 0 line as we would hope so. They are extreme values based on each criterion and identified by the row numbers in the data set.
