The residual plot is a scatter plot of the residuals. Each residual is the difference between the actual value and the value predicted by the model. Residuals can be positive or negative. If residuals are small (close to 0), the predictions are accurate. A residual plot may indicate that predictions are better for some classes of values than others.
