I understand residuals are the best way to spot non-linearity. But the huge amount of data I work with, and my own lack of experience, means that I have a hard time deciding if my regression model show non-linearity.
It has been suggested that you use partial regression plots to spot non-linearity. I generated them and was hoping someone could suggest if they suggest non-linearity (and more generally what to look for). I have no theory to build on, I am actually trying to develop a theory here.
My field rarely does statistical analysis.
The only three variables I care about are rate, sum_of_tuition, and inserv. The other variables are dummy variables. My guess is that restriction of range applies to these, but I don't know if the others are non-linear or not.
