R: Score residuals

scoreresid.msm {msm} | R Documentation

## Score residuals

### Description

Score residuals for detecting outlying subjects.

### Usage

    scoreresid.msm(x, plot=FALSE)

### Arguments

`x` | A fitted multi-state model, as returned by `msm`.
`plot` | If `TRUE`, display a simple plot of the residuals in subject order, labelled by subject identifiers

### Details

The score residual for a single subject is

U(theta)^T I(theta)^{-1} U(theta)

where U(theta) is the vector of first derivatives of the log-likelihood for that subject at maximum likelihood estimates theta, and theta is the observed Fisher information matrix, that is, the matrix of second derivatives of minus the log-likelihood for that subject at theta.

Subjects with a higher influence on the maximum likelihood estimates will have higher score residuals.

These are only available for models with analytic derivatives (which includes all non-hidden and most hidden Markov models).

### Value

Vector of the residuals, named by subject identifiers.
