    Option Description
    Residual Plot the residuals.
    3-up Plot the residuals and a histogram and normal plot.
    5-up Plot the residuals, a histogram and normal plot, a sequence plot, and a lag plot.
    The analysis task pane, the Residuals panel opens.
  3. In the Residuals drop-down list, select:
    Option Description
    Raw Plot the raw residual Y - Y fitted.
    Standardized Plot the standardized residual (Y - Y fitted) / SE.
  4. Optional: To test the normality of the residuals, On the Analyse-it ribbon tab, in the Diagnostics group, click Test Normality.
  5. Optional: To test for autocorrelation amongst the residuals, On the Analyse-it ribbon tab, in the Diagnostics group, click Test Autocorrelation.
