1  Purpose

nag_regsn_std_resid_influence (g02fac) calculates two types of standardized residuals and two measures of influence for a linear regression.

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nagg02.h>
void  nag_regsn_std_resid_influence (Integer n, Integer ip, Integer nres, const double res[], const double h[], double rms, double sres[], NagError *fail)

3  Description

For the general linear regression model is defined by
y = X β + ε
where y is a vector of length n  of the dependent variable,
  X is an n  by p  matrix of the independent variables,
  β is a vector of length p  of unknown arguments,
and ε is a vector of length n  of unknown random errors such that varε = σ 2 I .
The residuals are given by
r = y - y ^ = y - X β ^ .
The fitted values, y ^ = X β ^ , can be written as Hy  for an n  by n  matrix H . The i th diagonal element of H , h i , gives a measure of the influence of the i th value of the independent variables on the fitted regression model. The values of r  and the h i  are returned by nag_regsn_mult_linear (g02dac).
nag_regsn_std_resid_influence (g02fac) calculates statistics which help to indicate if an observation is extreme and having an undue influence on the fit of the regression model. Two types of standardized residual are calculated:
(a) The i th residual is standardized by its variance when the estimate of σ 2 , s 2 , is calculated from all the data; known as internal studentization.
RI i = r i s 1 - h i .
(b) The i th residual is standardized by its variance when the estimate of σ 2 , s -i 2  is calculated from the data excluding the i th observation; known as external studentization.
RE i = r i s -i 1 - h i = r i n-p - 1 n - p - R I i 2 .
The two measures of influence are:
(a) Cook's D  
D i = 1 p RE i 2 h i 1 - h i
(b) Atkinson's T  
T i = RE i n-p p h i 1 - h i .

NE_INT_ARG_LT
On entry, ip=value.
Constraint: ip1.
On entry, nres=value.
Constraint: nres1.
NE_REAL_ARG_GE
On entry, h[value]  must not be greater than or equal to 1.0: h[value] = value.
NE_REAL_ARG_LE
On entry, h[value]  must not be less than or equal to 0.0: h[value] = value.
On entry, rms must not be less than or equal to 0.0: rms=value .
NE_RESID_LARG

10  Example

A set of 24 residuals and h i  values from an 11 argument model fitted to the cloud seeding data considered in Cook and Weisberg (1982) are input and the standardized residuals etc calculated and printed for the first 10 observations.
