TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed diagnostic measures to aid the analyst in detecting such observations and quantifying their effect on various aspects of the maximum likelihood fit of a logistic regression model.
Abstract: A maximum likelihood fit of a logistic regression model (and other similar models) is extremely sensitive to outlying responses and extreme points in the design space. We develop diagnostic measures to aid the analyst in detecting such observations and in quantifying their effect on various aspects of the maximum likelihood fit. The elements of the fitting process which constitute the usual output (parameter estimates, standard errors, residuals, etc.) will be used for this purpose. With a properly designed computing package for fitting the usual maximum-likelihood model, the diagnostics are essentially "free for the asking." In particular, good data analysis for logistic regression models need not be expensive or time-consuming.
TL;DR: A projection matrix known as the hat matrix contains this information and, together with the Studentized residuals, provides a means of identifying exceptional data points and simplifies the calculations involved in removing a data point.
Abstract: In least-squares fitting it is important to understand the influence which a data y value will have on each fitted y value. A projection matrix known as the hat matrix contains this information and, together with the Studentized residuals, provides a means of identifying exceptional data points. This approach also simplifies the calculations involved in removing a data point, and it requires only simple modifications in the preferred numerical least-squares algorithms.
