hatvalues: Hat Values and Regression Deletion Diagnostics

Description

When complete, a suite of functions that can be used to compute some of the regression (leave-one-out deletion) diagnostics, for the VGLM class.

Usage

hatvalues(model, ...)
hatvaluesvlm(model, type = c("diagonal", "matrix", "centralBlocks"), ...)
hatplot(model, ...)
hatplot.vlm(model, multiplier = c(2, 3), lty = "dashed",
            xlab = "Observation", ylab = "Hat values", ylim = NULL, ...)
dfbetavlm(model, maxit.new = 1,
          trace.new = FALSE,
          smallno = 1.0e-8, ...)

Arguments

model

an Robject, typically returned by vglm.

type

Character. The default is the first choice, which is a $nM \times nM$ matrix. If type = "matrix" then the entire hat matrix is returned. If type = "centralBlocks" then $n$ central $M \times M$ block matrices,

multiplier

Numeric, the multiplier. The usual rule-of-thumb is that values greater than two or three times the average leverage (at least for the linear model) should be checked.

lty, xlab, ylab, ylim

Graphical parameters, see par etc. The default of ylim is c(0, max(hatvalues(model))) which means that if the horizontal dashed lines cannot be seen then there are no p

maxit.new, trace.new, smallno

Having maxit.new = 1 will give a one IRLS step approximation from the ordinary solution (and no warnings!). Else having maxit.new = 10, say, should usually mean convergence will occur for all observations when they are re

Details

The invocation hatvalues(vglmObject) should return a $n \times M$ matrix of the diagonal elements of the hat (projection) matrix of a vglm object. To do this, the QR decomposition of the object is retrieved or reconstructed, and then straightforward calculations are performed.

The invocation hatplot(vglmObject) should plot the diagonal of the hat matrix for each of the $M$ linear/additive predictors. By default, two horizontal dashed lines are added; hat values higher than these ought to be checked.

Examples

# Proportional odds model, p.179, in McCullagh and Nelder (1989)
pneumo <- transform(pneumo, let = log(exposure.time))
fit <- vglm(cbind(normal, mild, severe) ~ let, cumulative, data = pneumo)
hatvalues(fit)  # n x M matrix, with positive values
all.equal(sum(hatvalues(fit)), fit@rank)  # Should be TRUE
par(mfrow = c(1, 2))
hatplot(fit, ylim = c(0, 1), las = 1, col = "blue")
