Re: st: regression diagnostics with complex survey data

Hello statalisters,
I'm posting my query as a response to this thread because it is a related topic.
I am also using survey data but my dependent variable is cost and is
positively skewed. I'm using a GLM with gamma distribution and log
link. Are there any post-estimation procedures that I could run? I
found a lot of post-estimation commands for linear regression but none
for GLMs.
Regards,
Hitesh S. Chandwani

(Here "robust" means "insensitive to outliers", the original meaning of "robust regression".) You might generate and plot the high residuals and robust distances identified by -mmregress- and weight the symbols by the probability weights.

You would need to first plot the standardized robust residual against predicted values, before deciding if a particular point identified as outlier by -mmregress- truly is one.
