So the short answer is that there is no problem to "solve" as such this is just not how "lmerMod" objects are plotted. The diagnostic plots for lm don't make sense for all of these model types. Why is this? That's one for the authors to answer, but it seems the main reason is that they wanted a plot method that would cover GLMM, LMM and REML models. They wrote the method lme4:::rMod, which draws the single plot you see when you call plot on your model. Since it has a completely different structure from an object of class "lm", it wouldn't make sense to plot it with plot.lm, so the authors who created the lme4 package had to decide what the best way to plot an object of class "lmerMod" was. When we call plot on this object, R looks up the correct method to plot an object of this class. Our model is an object of type "lmerMod". Now let's see what we get when we create a model with lmer: library(lme4) In this case, it will dispatch the method stats:::plot.lm, which is a long function that takes the "lm" object and creates the 4 diagnostic plots. Instead of trying to construct a basic xy plot as it would if I did plot(1:10), R now knows to call a plotting method that has been specifically written to plot objects of type "lm". That means that when I call plot(lm_model), R will see that I am calling plot on an object of class lm. The resulting model object will have class "lm": lm_model "lm" Suppose I use the lm function to create a model. ![]() This means that when you call plot, R examines the class of the object you have passed to the first argument and chooses the plotting method according to this class. ( plot) and Q-Q plots ( qqnorm in nlme, qqmath in lme4) there are separate commands for plotting residuals etc.You can use formulas to show fitted or residual values vs parameters, facet, etc., e.g. scale-location plots, it is more flexible. although it doesn't automatically construct e.g.it uses lattice (derived from Trellis™ graphics) rather than base-R graphics.Why? I don't know for sure, but this approach is derived from the nlme package, which predates R the earliest version I could find is this page from the Wayback Machine (1998), which links to a copy of the user's guide for version 1.2, dated February 1995 that's three months before the first source-code release of R (via ftp) in June 1995. The design and implementation of lme4 diagnostic plot methods differ from plot.lm, which is the canonical example in base R. (the Cook's distances can be computed via cooks.distance() but superimposing the contours of CD= isn't so easy. Residuals vs leverage plot(fm1, rstudent(.) ~ hatvalues(.)) (it's harder to get the smooth and the zero line drawn in different colours) scale-location plot plot(lmer_model, You can get at least the first three plots corresponding to plot.lm fairly easily: fitted vs residual with smooth line added plot(lmer_model, type=c("p","smooth"), col.line=1) One if not existing.Tl dr ?rMod explains in quite a bit of detail how the plotting methods work for fits produced by lmer. Plot into this axis, otherwise grab the current axis or make a new _kws dictionaries, optionalĪdditional keyword arguments passed to scatter() and plot() for drawing y vector or stringĭata or column name in data for the response variable. x vector or stringĭata or column name in data for the predictor variable.

Optionally fit a lowess smoother to the residual plot, which can Regression) and then draw a scatterplot of the residuals. This function will regress y on x (possibly as a robust or polynomial Plot the residuals of a linear regression. ![]() residplot ( data = None, *, x = None, y = None, x_partial = None, y_partial = None, lowess = False, order = 1, robust = False, dropna = True, label = None, color = None, scatter_kws = None, line_kws = None, ax = None ) #
