RE: st: How to delete studentized residuals with absolute values greater than or equal to two after conducting areg procedure?

["Lachenbruch, Peter" <Peter.Lachenbruch@oregonstate.edu>]

I agree with David completely.  I would also note STRONGLY that using a criterion of 2 for removal of 'outliers' is way too generous.  I have always used 2.5 or 3 for removal in the regression, but I would never remove them from the data set!

Dear George,

Please explain why you want to delete studentized residuals whose
absolute values are greater than 2.  I hope you are not planning
simply to remove the corresponding observations from the data for your
regression.
