You can display effects plots and five different residual plots for regular, standardized, or deleted residuals. See Choosing a residual type. You do not have to store the residuals and fits to produce these plots.

Dialog box items

Effects Plots (Effects plots are not available with General Full Factorial designs)

Pareto: Check to display a Pareto chart of the effects.

Normal: Check to display a normal probability plot of the effects.

Half Normal: Check to display a half normal plot of the effects.

Display all terms: Choose to display all of the terms on the plots.

Display only model terms: Choose to display the terms that are in the model on the plots.

Display all terms, subplot effects only: For split-plot designs only, choose to display all of the terms for only the subplot effects.

Display all terms, subplot and whole-plot effects: For split-plot designs only, choose to display all of the terms for both the subplot and whole-plot effects.

Display only model terms, subplot effects only: For split-plot designs only, choose to display all terms in the model for only the subplot effects.

Display only model terms, subplot and whole-plot effects: For split-plot designs only, choose to display all terms in the model for both the subplot and whole-plot effects.

Residuals for Plots You can specify the type of residual to display on the residual plots.

Regular: Choose to plot the regular or raw residuals.

Standardized: Choose to plot the standardized residuals.

Deleted: Choose to plot the Studentized deleted residuals.

Residual Plots

Individual plots: Choose to display one or more plots.

Histogram: Check to display a histogram of the residuals.

Normal plot: Check to display a normal probability plot of the residuals.

Residuals versus fits: Check to plot the residuals versus the fitted values.

Residuals versus order: Check to plot the residuals versus the order of the data in the run order column. The run order for each data point is shown on the x-axis, for example, 1 2 3 4... n.

Four in one: Choose to display a histogram of residuals, a normal plot of residuals, a plot of residuals versus fits, and a plot of residuals versus order in one graph window.

Residuals versus variables: Check to display residuals versus selected variables, and then enter one or more columns. Minitab displays a separate graph for each column that you enter in the text box.
