In regression, it is of interest to detect anomalous observations that exert an unduly large influence on the least squares (LS) analysis. Frequently, the existence of influential data is complicated by the presence of collinearity (see, e.g., Walker and Birch [1] ). Very little work has been done, however, on the possible effects that collinearity can have on the influence of an observation. While dealing with multicollinearity some new type of Liu estimator is proposed. When modified Liu-type estimator (MLE) is used to mitigate the effects of multicollinearity, the influence of observations can be drastically modified. In this article, we propose approximate case deletion formula to detect influential points in MLE. As an illustrative example, a real dataset is analyzed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
