Robust LTS Regression Diagnostic Plots
Four plots (selectable by which) are currently provided:
a plot of the standardized residuals versus their index,
a plot of the standardized residuals versus fitted values,
a Normal Q-Q plot of the standardized residuals, and
a regression diagnostic plot (standardized residuals versus robust distances of the predictor variables).

This function produces several plots based on the robust and classical
regression estimates.
Which of them to select is specified by the attribute which.
The possible options are:
rqq:Normal Q-Q plot of the standardized residuals;
rindex:plot of the standardized residuals versus their index;
rfit:plot of the standardized residuals versus fitted values;
rdiag:regression diagnostic plot.
The normal quantile plot produces a normal Q-Q plot of the
standardized residuals.
A line is drawn which passes through the first and third quantile.
The id.n residuals with largest distances from this line are
identified by labels (the observation number). The default for
id.n is the number of regression outliers (lts.wt==0).
In the Index plot and in the Fitted values plot the standardized residuals are displayed against the observation number or the fitted value respectively. A horizontal dashed line is drawn at 0 and two solid horizontal lines are located at +2.5 and -2.5. The id.n residuals with largest absolute values are identified by labels (the observation number). The default for id.n is the number regression outliers (lts.wt==0).
The regression diagnostic plot, introduced by Rousseeuw and van Zomeren (1990), displays the standardized residuals versus robust distances. Following Rousseeuw and van Zomeren (1990), the horizontal dashed lines are located at +2.5 and -2.5 and the vertical line is located at the upper 0.975 percent point of the chi-squared distribution with p degrees of freedom. The id.n residuals with largest absolute values and/or largest robust Mahalanobis distances are identified by labels (the observation number). The default for id.n is the number of all outliers: regression outliers (lts.wt==0) + leverage (bad and good) points (RD > 0.975 percent point of the chi-squared distribution with p degrees of freedom).
