  • Although lots of works are done in influence diagnostics, results in the multivariate analysis are quite rare. One of recent works done by Fung(1995) is about the single case influence diagnostics in the linear discriminant analysis. In this paper we extend Fung's results to the multiple cases diagnostics which are necessary in the linear discriminant analysis for two reasons among others; First, the masking effect cannot be detected by single case diagnostics and secondly two populations are concerned in the discriminant analysis, i.e., influential cases can occur in one or both populations.

  • Robust regression based on M-estimator reduces and/or bounds the influence of outliers in the y-direction only. Therefore, when several influential observations exist, diagnostics in the robust regression is required in order to detect them. In this paper, we propose influence diagnostics in the robust regression based on M-estimator and its one-step version. Noting that M-estimator can be obtained through iterative weighted least squares regression by using internal weights, we apply the weighted least squares (WLS) regression diagnostics to robust regression.

  • In statistical diagnostics a large number of influence measures have been proposed for identifying outliers and influential observations. However it seems to be few accounts of the influence diagnostics on test statistics. We study influence analysis on the likelihood ratio test statistic whether the two sets of variables are uncorrelated with one another or not. The influence of observations is measured using the case-deletion approach, the influence function. We compared the proposed influence measures through two illustrative examples.

  • We present a diagnostic method for the quasi-likelihood estimators in generalized linear models. Since these estimators can be usually obtained by iteratively reweighted least squares which are well known to be very sensitive to unusual data, a diagnostic step is indispensable to analysis of data. We extend the local influence approach based on the maximum likelihood function to that on the quasi-likelihood function. Under several perturbation schemes local influence diagnostics are derived. An illustrative example is given and we compare the results provided by local influence and deletion.

  • Recently, Cook and Weisberg(l989) presented dynamic graphics for regression diagnostics. They suggested animating graphics which could aid to understanding the effects of adding a variable to a model. In this paper, using the Cook and Weisberg's idea of animation, we propose a dynamic graphical method for residuals to display the effects of removing an observation from a model. Based on the information obtained from these animating graphics, it is possible to see the influence of outliers on influencial observations for regression diagnostics.

  • Standard estimation methods for linear mixed models are sensitive to influential observations. However, tools and concepts for linear mixed model diagnostics are rudimentary until now and research is heavily demanded in linear mixed models. In this paper, we consider two diagnostics to evaluate the effects of individual observations in the estimation of fixed effects for linear mixed models. Those are Cook's distance and COVRATIO. Results of our limited simulation study suggest that the Cook's distance is not good statistical quantity in linear mixed models. Also calibration point for COVRATIO seems to be quite conservative.

  • We consider the development of simple regression-like diagnostics for assessing the sensitivity of an optimal design to deviations from the assumptions of constant error variance. This contains a review of Cook's local influence approach and an application of local influence aproach to D-optimal experimental design. The method is applied in a number of simple examples in Section 3. Conclusions and directions for further research follow in Section 4.

  • Regression diagnostics often involves assesment of the changes that result from deleting multiple cases. Diagnostic mehtodology based on global influence measure, however, needs prohibitive computing time. As an alternative, Cook (1986) developed influence approach in which it is checked whether a minor modification of specifiation influences key results of an analysis. In line with Cook's development, we propose and study an inflence derivative method that yields both the magnitude and direction of case influences. The utility of our methodology is highlighted when case influence derivatives are plotted in a lower demensional space. Such plots are especially effective in unmasking "masked" observations in least squares regression and in robust regression also. We give several illustrations.strations.

  • This paper proposes some diagnostics procedures for the skew-t linear regression model with censored response. The skew-t distribution is an attractive family of asymmetrical heavy-tailed densities that includes the normal, skew-normal and student's-t distributions as special cases. Inspired by the power and wide applicability of the EM-type algorithm, local and global influence analysis, based on the conditional expectation of the complete-data log-likelihood function are developed, following Zhu and Lee's approach. For the local influence analysis, four specific perturbation schemes are discussed. Two real data sets, from education and economics, which are right and left censoring, respectively, are analyzed in order to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed methodology.
