outlierTest: Bonferroni Outlier Test

In car: Companion to Applied Regression

Bonferroni Outlier Test

Description

Reports the Bonferroni p-values for testing each observation in turn to be a mean-shift outlier, based Studentized residuals in linear (t-tests), generalized linear models (normal tests), and linear mixed models.

Usage

outlierTest(model, ...)

## S3 method for class 'lm'
outlierTest(model, cutoff=0.05, n.max=10, order=TRUE, 
	labels=names(rstudent), ...)
	
## S3 method for class 'lmerMod'
outlierTest(model, ...)

## S3 method for class 'outlierTest'
print(x, digits=5, ...)

Arguments

model	an lm, glm, or lmerMod model object; the "lmerMod" method calls the "lm" method and can take the same arguments.
cutoff	observations with Bonferroni p-values exceeding cutoff are not reported, unless no observations are nominated, in which case the one with the largest Studentized residual is reported.
n.max	maximum number of observations to report (default, 10).
order	report Studenized residuals in descending order of magnitude? (default, TRUE).
labels	an optional vector of observation names.
...	arguments passed down to methods functions.
x	outlierTest object.
digits	number of digits for reported p-values.

Details

For a linear model, p-values reported use the t distribution with degrees of freedom one less than the residual df for the model. For a generalized linear model, p-values are based on the standard-normal distribution. The Bonferroni adjustment multiplies the usual two-sided p-value by the number of observations. The lm method works for glm objects. To show all of the observations set cutoff=Inf and n.max=Inf.

Value

an object of class outlierTest, which is normally just printed.
