This paper used interactive computing and exploratory methods to discover unexpected features of the data, such as nonlinearity, collinearity, outliers, and points with high leverage.
Abstract
Automated multiple regression model-building techniques often hide important aspects of data from the data analyst. Such features as nonlinearity, collinearity, outliers, and points with high leverage can profoundly affect automated analyses, yet remain undetected. An alternative technique uses interactive computing and exploratory methods to discover unexpected features of the data. One important advantage of this approach is that the data analyst can use knowledge of the subject matter in the resolution of difficulties. The methods are illustrated with reanalyses of the two data sets used by Hocking (1976, Biometrics 32, 1-44) to illustrate the use of automated regression methods.

Influential Observations, High Leverage Points, and Outliers in Linear Regression

TL;DR: In this article, a bewilderingly large number of statistical quantities have been proposed to study outliers and influence of individual observations in regression analysis and the inter-relationships which exist among the proposed measures.

Detection of influential observation in linear regression

TL;DR: In this article, a measure based on confidence ellipsoids is developed for judging the contribution of each data point to the determination of the least squares estimate of the parameter vector in full rank linear regression models.
