Bonferroni Outlier Test

Description

Reports the Bonferroni p-values for Studentized residuals in linear and generalized linear models, based on a t-test for linear models and normal-distribution test for generalized linear 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 'outlierTest'
print(x, digits=5, ...)

Arguments

`model`	an `lm` or `glm` model object.
`cutoff`	observations with Bonferonni 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.
