Hi Dr. Ripley--Sorry for the repost everybody. The original message I sent never showed up in my inbox, so I thought it didn't get sent to the list.
I'm running R 2.8.0, installed from a pre-compiled version, on Windows XP. When I type Sys.getlocale() at the R prompt, it returns: "LC_COLLATE=English_United States.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_United States.1252;LC_MONETARY=English_United States.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_United States.1252" Here's an example: bob <- seq(1:100) bob2 <- rgamma(100, 2, 1)*10+bob model<-glm(bob2 ~ bob, family=Gamma) Then enter: plot(model, which=c(3)) to get the Scale-Location graph Then compare it to the Scale-Location graph when you run the following command and page through to the 3rd graph: plot(model) When I do this, I get different results -- some of the high values are different on each plot. On my real data the difference is more severe than in this randomly generated example. I'd be happy to supply my real data and R code if this smaller example isn't sufficient. Thank you for any help!!
