Here

p = 4

and

n - p = 96

. The supplied quantile gives

F_{4, 96} (0.9) = 2.00.

Since

D_{i} = 3.1 > 2.00,

the coefficient estimate after deleting this observation lies outside the

90%

confidence ellipsoid centered at the full-data estimate. It also greatly exceeds the common rough reference value

D_{i} = 1

. The observation is therefore highly influential and merits investigation:

yes, its influence is concerning .
