In statistics, the restricted (or residual, or reduced) maximum likelihood (REML) approach is a particular form of maximum likelihood estimation that does not base estimates on a maximum likelihood fit of all the information, but instead uses a likelihood function calculated from a transformed set of data, so that nuisance parameters have no effect.
The least squares linear fit to this plot has an intercept of 0 and a slope , where corresponds to the regression coefficient for X i of a regression of Y on all of the covariates. The residuals from the least squares linear fit to this plot are identical to the residuals from the least squares fit of the original model (Y against all the ...
Thus to compare residuals at different inputs, one needs to adjust the residuals by the expected variability of residuals, which is called studentizing. This is particularly important in the case of detecting outliers, where the case in question is somehow different from the others in a dataset. For example, a large residual may be expected in ...
An illustrative plot of a fit to data (green curve in top panel, data in red) plus a plot of residuals: red points in bottom plot. Dashed curve in bottom panel is a straight line fit to the residuals. If the functional form is correct then there should be little or no trend to the residuals - as seen here.
Models that are over-parameterised (over-fitted) would tend to give small residuals for observations included in the model-fitting but large residuals for observations that are excluded. The PRESS statistic has been extensively used in lazy learning and locally linear learning to speed-up the assessment and the selection of the neighbourhood size.
When this is not the case, the errors are said to be heteroskedastic, or to have heteroskedasticity, and this behaviour will be reflected in the residuals ^ estimated from a fitted model. Heteroskedasticity-consistent standard errors are used to allow the fitting of a model that does contain heteroskedastic residuals.
On the other hand, the internally studentized residuals are in the range , where ν = n − m is the number of residual degrees of freedom. If t i represents the internally studentized residual, and again assuming that the errors are independent identically distributed Gaussian variables, then: [2]
Residuals = residuals from the full model, ^ = regression coefficient from the i-th independent variable in the full model, X i = the i-th independent variable. Partial residual plots are widely discussed in the regression diagnostics literature (e.g., see the References section below).
