Assume that observations Y=(Y1,…,Yn)T satisfy the linear model
Y=Xβ+ϵ
where X is an n×p matrix of known constants of full rankp<n, where β=(β1,…,βp)T is unknown and ϵ∼Nn(0,σ2I). Write down a (1−α)-level confidence set for β.
Define Cook's distance for the observation (xi,Yi), where xiT is the i th row of X. Give its interpretation in terms of confidence sets for β.
In the above model with n=50 and p=2, you observe that one observation has Cook's distance 1.3. Would you be concerned about the influence of this observation?
[You may find some of the following facts useful:
(i) If Z∼χ22, then P(Z⩽0.21)=0.1,P(Z⩽1.39)=0.5 and P(Z⩽4.61)=0.9.
(ii) If Z∼F2,48, then P(Z⩽0.11)=0.1,P(Z⩽0.70)=0.5 and P(Z⩽2.42)=0.9.
(iii) If Z∼F48,2, then P(Z⩽0.41)=0.1,P(Z⩽1.42)=0.5 and P(Z⩽9.47)=0.9. ]
