Vegetables are excellent sources of vitamins including β-carotene (provitamin A), ascorbic acid, and vitamins E and K. In detail, ascorbic acid and α-tocopherol have anti-aging and redox state regulation effects as powerful antioxidants, α-tocopherol and β-carotene could be synergistic antioxidants and may prevent several cancers, and vitamin K intake is associated with reduced cardiovascular disease and vascular calcification. Many reports have also found various health benefits of vitamins. Although vitamins are usually needed in minute amounts for normal physiological functions such as maintenance, growth, and development, insufficient intake of vitamins gives rise to specific deficiency syndromes. Now you can play more with the Shiny App to make sure your understanding of the displayed values goes with the intuition behind them.Vitamins are organic compounds and vital nutrients that cannot be synthesized and thus must be obtained through the diet. These values, and the rest of the influence measures, can be plotted versus the indecies of the observations to spot any extreme values and see the variations. We have dfbtea for each coefficient, so for example, in our linear regression model we have one for the intercept and one for the slope. Hatvalues : indicates the potential for leverage.ĭfbetas : measures how much individual coefficients change when the i th value is deleted. However, there are more values that are used in diagnostic analysis. The following are the measures we are interested in here. That is why we use influence measures that can be calculated in R easily. Now we got the intuitive explanation of the leverage and influence, but for multivariable regression or more complex models it is not easy to compare the model to mechanical system. Then you can see how the regression line is affected and how the displayed values change. This point is prepended to the 100 points generated earlier. This simple Shiny App demonstrates the concepts of leverage and influence, displays the linear model coefficients and some of the influence measures for a point with adjustable coordinates. If you still need more examples, you can try the following Shiny app to adjust different values and check the outcome. Now, it should be easy for you to expect whether he will be influential or not, following the same way of thinking. What if the guy moves to another location?. Since he pulls the line towards him at the pivot, the exerted force is almost perpendicular to the line, and consequently will have no influence. So he will affect the intercept and the slope of the regression line significantly.Īt, he will not have noticeable effect on the fitted line. And although he has the potential of high influence, he will not be able to impact the regression line significantly because his force is exerted almost parallel to the line.Īt, he has both high leverage and high influence, since he stands far from the rest of the observations in X and Y. For example:Īt, the guy has high leverage since he stands far from the cloud of the X values. If you think of the regression line as a rod pivoted at the orange triangle, which is placed at the mean (here since X,Y are centered), you will be able to conclude the answers easily. If he moves in different locations, where will he have high potential for influence with the ablility to exert it? and where will he have high leverage but little effect on the fitted model? Then we will zoom out and imagine a guy trying to pull the regression line, using a rope towards him. Intuition Behind Influential Observationsįirst, we will simulate 100 points and plot the regression line as follows: We can read this everywhere, but to get the concept easily, let’s look at the following example. This depends on how it conforms to the fitted model. The higher the leverage value of an observation, the more potential it has to impact the fitted model. To understand it, let’s imagine a beam pivoted at a fixed hinge. Leverage is a measure of how far an observation on the predictor variable (Let it be X) from the mean of the predictor variable. And if you get the idea with a simple linear regression model, it will be easy to extend it to more complex ones. We will also use a simple Shiny App to demonstrate the concept. We will try to visualize and catch the intuition behind them first. In this post, we will focus on two concepts (leverage and influence), but we will not dig deep into the math behind them. Using these models, we learnt that a common practice was to perform diagnostics checks to dig deeper and see how different points affect the fitted model or its coeffecients. Once upon a data, there were outliers and influential observations in regression models.
