Testing Most Influential Sets
最具影响力观测集合的检验
Small influential data subsets can dramatically impact model conclusions, with a few data points overturning key findings. While recent work identifies these most influential sets, there is no formal way to tell when maximum influence is excessive rather than expected under natural random sampling variation. We address this gap by developing a principled framework for most influential sets. Focusing on linear least-squares, we derive a convenient exact influence formula and…
