ols_plot_dfbetas function

DFBETAs panel

Panel of plots to detect influential observations using DFBETAs.

ols_plot_dfbetas(model, print_plot = TRUE)

Arguments

• model: An object of class lm.
• print_plot: logical; if TRUE, prints the plot else returns a plot object.

Returns

list; ols_plot_dfbetas returns a list of data.frame (for intercept and each predictor) with the observation number and DFBETA of observations that exceed the threshold for classifying an observation as an outlier/influential observation.

Details

DFBETA measures the difference in each parameter estimate with and without the influential point. There is a DFBETA for each data point i.e if there are n observations and k variables, there will be $n * k$ DFBETAs. In general, large values of DFBETAS indicate observations that are influential in estimating a given parameter. Belsley, Kuh, and Welsch recommend 2 as a general cutoff value to indicate influential observations and $2/\sqrt(n)$ as a size-adjusted cutoff.

Examples

model <- lm(mpg ~ disp + hp + wt + qsec, data = mtcars)
ols_plot_dfbetas(model)
