R: Bonferroni Outlier Test

outlierTest {car} | R Documentation

## 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.
