Residual plots are graphical representations that display the residuals on the vertical axis and the fitted values (or another independent variable) on the horizontal axis. These plots help assess the quality of a regression model by showing how well the model's predictions align with actual data, and they can reveal patterns that may indicate problems such as non-linearity, heteroscedasticity, or outliers in the data.
congrats on reading the definition of residual plots. now let's actually learn it.
