Hadi measure of regression influence       [modified from STB-11: ip3.1]
------------------------------------

hinflu newvar

(for use after regress; see help regress)

Description -----------

This program is a modification of STB-11: ip3.1, designed to run under Stata Version 6.0.

The below is loosely quoted from the abstract of Hadi (1992):

The existing influence measures are procedures designed to detect the influence of observations on a specific regression result; the proposed (hfinlu) measure is a measure of overall influence. Fitting a regression model in practice can have many purposes and the user may prefer to begin with an overall measure.

Description, continued ----------------------

This diagonostic possesses several desireable properties that many of the freq- uently used diagnostics do not generally possess: (a) invariance to location and scale in the response variable; (b) invariance to nonsingular transforma- tions of the explanatory variables; (c) it is an additive function of measures of leverage and residual error; and (d) it is monotonically increasing in the leverage values and squared residuals.

Modification Note: ------------------

This program has been modified by UCLA ATS to run under version 6.0 The program originally appeared as STB-11: ip3.1.
