DFBETAs panel

Panel of plots to detect influential observations using DFBETAs.

Usage

ols_plot_dfbetas(model, print_plot = TRUE)

Arguments

model

An object of class lm.

print_plot

logical; if TRUE, prints the plot else returns a plot object.

Value

list; ols_plot_dfbetas returns a list of data.frame (for intercept and each predictor) with the observation number and DFBETA of observations that exceed the threshold for classifying an observation as an outlier/influential observation.

Details

DFBETA measures the difference in each parameter estimate with and without the influential point. There is a DFBETA for each data point i.e if there are n observations and k variables, there will be \(n * k\) DFBETAs. In general, large values of DFBETAS indicate observations that are influential in estimating a given parameter. Belsley, Kuh, and Welsch recommend 2 as a general cutoff value to indicate influential observations and \(2/\sqrt(n)\) as a size-adjusted cutoff.
