influencePlot: Regression Influence Plot
In jonathon-love/car: Companion to Applied Regression

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

This function creates a “bubble” plot of Studentized residuals by hat values, with the areas of the circles representing the observations proportional to Cook's distances. Vertical reference lines are drawn at twice and three times the average hat value, horizontal reference lines at -2, 0, and 2 on the Studentized-residual scale.

influencePlot(model, ...)

## S3 method for class 'lm'
influencePlot(model, scale=10, 
	xlab="Hat-Values", ylab="Studentized Residuals", 
    labels, id.method = "noteworthy",
    id.n = if(id.method[1]=="identify") Inf else 0, 
    id.cex=1, id.col=palette()[1], id.location="lr", ...)

`model`	a linear or generalized-linear model.
`scale`	a factor to adjust the size of the circles.
`xlab, ylab`	axis labels.
`labels, id.method, id.n, id.cex, id.col, id.location`	settings for labelling points; see `link{showLabels}` for details. To omit point labelling, set `id.n=0`, the default. The default `id.method="noteworthy"` is used only in this function and indicates setting labels for points with large Studentized residuals, hat-values or Cook's distances. Set `id.method="identify"` for interactive point identification.
`...`	arguments to pass to the `plot` and `points` functions.

If points are identified, returns a data frame with the hat values, Studentized residuals and Cook's distance of the identified points. If no points are identified, nothing is returned. This function is primarily used for its side-effect of drawing a plot.
