Martin - Thanks for your efforts in initiating and managing this discussion. As for the issue of deprecating the plot.lm() pictures in the published books, surely this will have great benefits for the authors. It will help them to sell the new editions of their books that will in due course appear

Following the >20 messages that Martin mentioned, I had private discussion with John Fox, which in part lies behind following questions: (1) In plot 5, should we have, maybe as an option, vertical lines at 2hbar and 3hbar, as in the plots produced by the function that John Fox sent me. I think th

Dear Martin, A couple of comments on the new plots (numbers 5 and 6): Perhaps some more thought could be given to the plotted contours for Cook's D (which are 0.5 and 1.0 in the example -- large Cook's Ds). A rule-of-thumb cut-off for this example is 4/(n - p) = 4/(50 - 5) = 0.089, and the discrep

As some of you R-devel readers may know, the plot() method for "lm" objects is based in large parts on contributions by John Maindonald, subsequently "massaged" by me and other R-core members. In the statistics litterature on applied regression, people have had diverse oppinions on what (and how
