The Standardized Influence Matrix and its Applications
标准化影响矩阵及其应用
In this article we introduce the standardized influence matrix (SIM) of parameter estimators as a conjugate of the sample covariance matrix of standardized influence functions (SIFs) evaluated at the data points. We propose principal component analysis for the SIM and its complement (SIM analysis) as a diagnostic tool for regression or other statistical inference, and provide theoretical insight to the local influence defined by Cook. We show that SIM analysis reveals the…
