_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     These functions are all 'methods' for class 'glm' or 'summary.glm'
     objects.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     ## S3 method for class 'glm':
     family(object, ...)

     ## S3 method for class 'glm':
     residuals(object, type = c("deviance", "pearson", "working",
                                "response", "partial"), ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: an object of class 'glm', typically the result of a call to
          'glm'.

    type: the type of residuals which should be returned. The
          alternatives are: '"deviance"' (default), '"pearson"',
          '"working"', '"response"', and '"partial"'.

     ...: further arguments passed to or from other methods.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The references define the types of residuals: Davison & Snell is a
     good reference for the usages of each.

     The partial residuals are a matrix of working residuals, with each
     column formed by omitting a term from the model.

     How 'residuals' treats cases with missing values in the original
     fit is determined by the 'na.action' argument of that fit. If
     'na.action = na.omit' omitted cases will not appear in the
     residuals, whereas if 'na.action = na.exclude' they will appear,
     with residual value 'NA'.  See also 'naresid'.
