Abstract

We propose a bootstrap approach to gauging the size of regression influence measures. The bootstrap cut-offs generated are based on approximating the sampling distribution of the respective measures under resampling, work well for small samples, and allow for features such as asymmetric cut-offs. The bootstrap method uses Efron's jackknife-after-bootstrap idea to deal with the issue of an influential point contaminating the resamples from which cut-offs are calculated. The method is illustrated through both real-world examples and a simulation study, the results of which suggest that the bootstrap method provides a reliable alternative to traditional methods particularly in small to moderate samples.
