Thread-topic: plot.lm Response vs Fitted
Hello,

I was trying to explain my use of residual diagnostic plots to a 
colleague when I realized that I do not have a handle on the use
of the 'Response vs Fitted Values' plot.

In trying to find an explanation the _only_ reference I found
was a single sentence on p 242, second paragraph in the S-PLUS 7
Guide to Statistics, Volume 1 (statman1.pdf):

'For example, a plot of the response against the fitted values gives
a good idea of how well the model has captured the broad outlines
of the data.'

Not very specific.
Can anyone expand on this?

Thanks, DaveT.
