This makes it pretty clear which are the meaningful ones: g <- structure(c(50700000, 75200, 573, 836, 1020, 349, 1850, 530, 352, 576, 589, 618, 349, 652), .Names = c("Gibraltar", "Gibralta", "Gibraltr", "Gibralar", "Gibratar", "Gibrltar", "Gibaltar", "Giraltar", "Gbraltar", "ibralter", "Gibralatar", "Gibrlatar", "Gibrltar", "Gobraltar")) plot(lm(log(g) ~ 1), which = 2)
