Abstract:Inaccurate and invalid statistical inferences in regression analysis may be caused by multicollinearity due to the presence of high leverage points (HLP) in a data set. Therefore, it is important that high leverage point which is a form ofoutlier be detected because its existence can lead to misfitting of a regression model, thus resulting in inaccuracy of regression results. In this paper, several methods have been proposed to identify HLP in a financial accounting data set prior to conducting further analysi… Show more
