Example 12.7 Stackloss Data

The graphs in Figure 12.7.1 and Figure 12.7.2 show the following:

• the plot of standardized LMS residuals vs. robust distances

• the plot of standardized LS residuals vs. Mahalanobis distances

In the first plot, you see that case 4 is a regression outlier but not a leverage point, so it is a vertical outlier. Cases 1, 3, and 21 are bad leverage points, whereas case 2 is a good leverage point. Note that case 21 lies near the boundary line between vertical outliers and bad leverage points and that case 2 is very close to the boundary between good and bad leverage points.

Output 12.7.1 Stackloss Data: LMS Residuals vs. Robust Distances

Output 12.7.2 Stackloss Data: LS Residuals vs. Mahalanobis Distances
