Influence Cook's distance From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia • Ten things you didn't know about Wikipedia •Jump to: navigation, search In statistics, the Cook's distance is a commonly used estimate of the influence of a data point when doing least squares regression. Cook's distance measures the effect of deleting a given observation. Data points with large residuals (outliers) and/or high leverage may distort the outcome and accuracy of a regression. Points with a Cook's distance of 1 or more are considered to merit closer examination in the analysis. [edit] See Also DFFITS [edit] References Cook, R. Dennis. 1977.
