Abstract

Suggested diagnostics for influence on the estimated regression coefficients in a generalized linear model have generally approximated the effect of deleting a single case. We apply the local influence method of Cook (1986) to assess the effect of small perturbations of the data, including the vector of responses, case weights, explanatory variables, and the components of one case. The resulting diagnostics allow one to check for different kinds of influence, and may give insight into its workings. Two examples illustrate some of the diagnostics.
