ABSTRACT

Influential observations (IO) are those observations that are responsible for misleading conclusions about the fitting of a multiple linear regression model. The existing IO identification methods such as influential distance (ID) is not very successful in detecting IO. It is suspected that the ID employed inefficient method with long computational running time for the identification of the suspected IO at the initial step. Moreover, this method declares good leverage observations as IO, resulting in misleading conclusion. In this paper, we proposed fast improvised influential distance (FIID) that can successfully identify IO, good leverage observations, and regular observations with shorter computational running time. Monte Carlo simulation study and real data examples show that the FIID correctly identify genuine IO in multiple linear regression model with no masking and a negligible swamping rate.

 

Keywords: Bad leverage point; good leverage point; influential distance; influential observations

 

ABSTRAK

Cerapan berpengaruh (IO) adalah cerapan yang bertanggungjawab ke atas kesimpulan yang mengelirukan bagi penyesuaian model regresi linear berganda. Kaedah pengecaman IO sedia ada seperti jarak berpengaruh (ID) tidak begitu berjaya untuk mengesan IO. Kami mengesyaki bahawa ID menggunakan kaedah yang kurang cekap dengan masa pengiraan yang panjang pada langkah awal bagi pengecaman cerapan IO. Tambahan pula, kaedah ini menunjukkan cerapan tuasan baik sebagai IO yang mengelirukan keputusan kajian. Dalam kertas ini, kami mencadangkan penambahbaikan jarak berpengaruh pantas (FIID) yang boleh mengecam IO, cerapan tuasan yang baik dan cerapan biasa dengan jayanya dengan masa pengiraan yang pantas. Kajian Monte Carlo simulasi dan contoh data sebenar menunjukkan bahawa FIID mengecam IO dalam model linear regresi berganda dengan betul tanpa penyorokan dan kadar limpahan yang sangat kecil.

 

Kata kunci: Cerapan berpengaruh; jarak berpengaruh; titik tuasan buruk; titik tuasan tinggi baik
