Dffits

The Dffits statistic is a scaled measure of the change in the predicted value for the ith observation. For linear models,

F_{i} = \frac{\hat{ \mu_{i}}- \hat{ \mu}_{(i)}}{s_{(i)} \sqrt{ h_{i}} }
where { \hat{ \mu}_{(i)}}is the ith value predicted without using the ith observation.

Large absolute values of Fi indicate influential observations. A general cutoff to consider is 2; a recommended size-adjusted cutoff is {2\sqrt{p / n}}.

For generalized linear models,

F_{i} = \frac{\hat{ \mu_{i}} - \hat{ \mu}_{(i)}}{\sqrt{ \hat{ \phi}_{(i)} h_{i}} }

The Dffits statistics are stored in variables named F_yname for each response variable, where yname is the response variable name.
