| lm.influence {stats} | R Documentation |
This function provides the basic quantities which are used in forming a wide variety of diagnostics for checking the quality of regression fits.
influence(model, ...) ## S3 method for class 'lm': influence(model, do.coef = TRUE, ...) ## S3 method for class 'glm': influence(model, do.coef = TRUE, ...) lm.influence(model, do.coef = TRUE)
model |
an object as returned by lm or glm. |
do.coef |
logical indicating if the changed coefficients
(see below) are desired. These need O(n^2 p) computing time. |
... |
further arguments passed to or from other methods. |
The influence.measures() and other functions listed in
See Also provide a more user oriented way of computing a
variety of regression diagnostics. These all build on
lm.influence. Note that for GLMs (other than the Gaussian
family with identity link) these are based on one-step approximations
which may be inadequate if a case has high influence.
An attempt is made to ensure that computed hat values that are
probably one are treated as one, and the corresponding rows in
sigma and coefficients are NaN. (Dropping such a
case would normally result in a variable being dropped, so it is not
possible to give simple drop-one diagnostics.)
naresid is applied to the results and so will fill in
with NAs it the fit had na.action = na.exclude.
A list containing the following components of the same length or
number of rows n, which is the number of non-zero weights.
Cases omitted in the fit are omitted unless a na.action
method was used (such as na.exclude) which restores them.
hat |
a vector containing the diagonal of the “hat” matrix. |
coefficients |
(unless do.coef is false) a matrix whose
i-th row contains the change in the estimated coefficients which
results when the i-th case is dropped from the regression. Note
that aliased coefficients are not included in the matrix. |
sigma |
a vector whose i-th element contains the estimate
of the residual standard deviation obtained when the i-th
case is dropped from the regression. (The approximations needed for
GLMs can result in this being NaN.) |
wt.res |
a vector of weighted (or for class glm
rather deviance) residuals. |
The coefficients returned by the R version
of lm.influence differ from those computed by S.
Rather than returning the coefficients which result
from dropping each case, we return the changes in the coefficients.
This is more directly useful in many diagnostic measures.
Since these need O(n^2 p) computing time, they can be omitted by
do.coef = FALSE.
Note that cases with weights == 0 are dropped (contrary
to the situation in S).
If a model has been fitted with na.action=na.exclude (see
na.exclude), cases excluded in the fit are
considered here.
See the list in the documentation for influence.measures.
