Cumulative residual standard deviation plot typically has a hockey stick appearance |
Proceeding left to right, as we add more terms to the model, the
cumulative residual standard deviation "curve" will typically decrease.
At the beginning (on the left), as we add large-effect terms, the
decrease from one residual standard deviation to the next residual
standard deviation will be large. The incremental improvement
(decrease) then tends to drop off slightly. At some point the
incremental improvement will typically slacken off considerably.
Appearance-wise, it is thus very typical for such a curve to have a
"hockey stick" appearance:
