RCASE
Computes case statistics and diagnostics given data points, coefficient estimates
and the R matrix for a fitted general linear model.
Required Arguments
XNRX by NCOL matrix containing the data. (Input)
IRSP — Column number IRSP of X contains the data for the response (dependent) variable. (Input)
B — Vector of length NCOEF containing a least-squares solution
for the regression coefficients. (Input)
RNCOEF by NCOEF upper triangular matrix containing the R matrix. (Input)
The R matrix can come from a regression fit based on a QR decomposition of the matrix of regressors or based on a Cholesky factorization RTR of the matrix of sums of squares and crossproducts of the regressors. Elements to the right of a diagonal element of R that is zero must also be zero. A zero row indicates a nonfull rank model. For an R matrix that comes from a regression fit with linear equality restrictions on the parameters, each row of R corresponding to a restriction must have a corresponding diagonal element that is negative. The remaining rows of R must have positive diagonal elements. Only the upper triangle of R is referenced.
DFE — Degrees of freedom for error. (Input)
SSE — Sum of squares for error. (Input)
CASENRX by 12 matrix containing the case statistics. (Output)
Columns 1 through 12 contain the following:
Col.

Default: IDO = 0.
IDO
Action
0
This is the only invocation of RCASE for this data set, and all the data are input at once.
1
This is the first invocation, and additional calls to RCASE will be made. Case statistics are computed for the data in X.
2
This is an intermediate or final invocation of RCASE. Case statistics are computed for the data in X.

INTCEP
Action
0
An intercept is not in the model.
1
An intercept is in the model.
IEF — Effect option. (Input)
Default: IEF = 1.
The absolute value of IEF is the number of effects (sources of variation) due to the model. The sign of IEF specifies the following options.
IEF
Meaning
< 0
Each effect corresponds to a single regressor (coefficient) in the model. In this case, arguments NCLVAR, INDCL, NCLVAL, CLVAL, NVEF, INDEF, and IDUMMY are not referenced.
> 0
Each effect corresponds to one or more regressors. A general linear model is specified through the arguments NCLVAR, INDCL, NCLVAL, CLVAL, NVEF, INDEF, and IDUMMY.
0
There are no effects in the model. INTCEP must equal 1.
NCLVAR — Number of classification variables. (Input, if IEF is positive)
INDCL — Index vector of length NCLVAR containing the column numbers of X that are the classification variables. (Input, if IEF is positive)
NCLVAL — Vector of length NCLVAR containing the number of values taken on by each classification variable. (Input, if IEF is positive)
NCLVAL(I) is the number of distinct values for the I-th classification variable.
CLVAL — Vector of length NCLVAL(1) + NCLVAL(2) +  + NCLVAL(NCLVAR) containing the values of the classification variables. (Input, if IEF is positive)
The first NCLVAL(1) variables contain the values of the first classification variable; the next NCLVAL(2) variables contain the values of the second classification variable; and so on. The last NCLVAL(NCLVAR) variables contain the values of the last classification variable.
NVEF — Vector of length IEF containing the number of variables associated with each effect in the model. (Input, if IEF is positive)
INDEF — Index vector of length NVEF(1) + NVEF(2) +  + NVEF(IEF). (Input, if IEF is positive)
The first NVEF(1) elements give the column numbers of X for each variable in the first effect; the next NVEF(2) elements give the column numbers for each variable in the second effect; and so on. The last NVEF(NEF) elements give the column numbers for each variable in the last effect.
IDUMMY — Dummy variable option. (Input, if IEF is positive)
Some indicator variables are defined for the I-th class variable as follows: Let J = NCLVAL(1) + NCLVAL(2) +  + NCLVAL(I  1). NCLVAL(I) indicator variables are defined such that for K = 1, 2, NCLVAL(I) the K-th indicator variable for row M of X takes the value 1.0 if X(MINDCL(I)) = CLVAL(J + K) and equals 0.0 otherwise. Dummy variables are generated from these indicator variables in one of the three following ways:
IDUMMY
Method
0, 1
The NCLVAL(I) indicator variables are the dummy variables (In RCASE, the computations for IDUMMY = 0 and IDUMMY = 1 are the same. The two values 0 and 1 are provided so that RCASE can be called after routine RGLM with no change in IDUMMY.)
2
The first NCLVAL(I 1 indicator variables are the dummy variables. The last indicator variable is omitted.
3
The K-th indicator variable minus the NCLVAL (I)-th indicator variable is the K-th dummy variable (K = 1, 2, NCLVAL(I 1).
IWT — Weighting option. (Input)
IWT = 0 means that all weights are 1.0. For positive IWT, column number IWT of X contains the weights, and the computed prediction interval uses SSE/(DFE * X(I, IWT)) for the estimated variance of a future response.
Default: IWT = 0.
IPRED — Prediction interval option. (Input)
IPRED = 0 means that prediction intervals are desired for a single future response. For positive IPRED, column number IPRED of X contains the number of future responses for which a prediction interval is desired on the average of the future responses.
Default: IPRED = 0.
CONPCM — Confidence level for two-sided interval estimates on the mean, in percent. (Input)
CONPCM percent confidence intervals are computed, hence, CONPCM must be greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 100.0. CONPCM often will be 90.0, 95.0, or 99.0. For one-sided intervals with confidence level ONECL, where ONECL is greater than or equal to 50.0 and less than 100.0, set CONPCM = 100.0  2.0 * (100.0  ONECL).
Default: CONPCM = 95.0.
CONPCP — Confidence level for two-sided prediction intervals, in percent. (Input)
CONPCP percent prediction intervals are computed, hence, CONPCP must be greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 100.0. CONPCP often will be 90.0, 95.0, or 99.0. For one-sided intervals with confidence level ONECL, where ONECL is greater than or equal to 50.0 and less than 100.0, set CONPCP = 100.0  2.0 * (100.0  ONECL).
Default: CONPCP = 95.0.
PRINT — Printing option. (Input)
Default: PRINT = ‘N’.
PRINT is a character string indicating what is to be printed. The PRINT string is composed of one-character print codes to control printing. These print codes are given as follows:
PRINT(I:I)
Printing that Occurs
A
All
N
None
‘1’
Observed response
‘2’
Predicted response
‘3’
Residual
‘4’

Description
The general linear model used by routine RCASE is
y = X β + ɛ
where y is the n × 1 vector of responses, X is the n × p matrix of regressors, β is the p × 1 vector of regression coefficients, and ɛ is the n × 1 vector of errors whose elements are independently normally distributed with mean 0 and variance σ2/wi. The model used by RCASE also permits linear equality restrictions on β. From a general linear model fitted using the wi’s as the weights, routine RCASE computes confidence intervals and statistics for the individual cases that constitute the data set. Let xi be a column vector containing elements of the i-th row of X. Let W = diag(w1w2wn). The leverage is defined as
(In the case of linear equality restrictions on β, the leverage is defined in terms of the reduced model.) Put D = diag(d1d2dp) with dj = 1 if the j-th diagonal element of R is positive and 0 otherwise. The leverage is computed as hi = (aTDa)wi where a is a solution to RTa = xi. The estimated variance of
is given by his2/wi, where s2 = SSE/DFE. The computation of the remainder of the case statistics follows easily from their definitions. See the Diagnostics for Individual Cases section in the chapter introduction for definitions of the case diagnostics.
Often predicted values and confidence intervals are desired for combinations of settings of the effect variables not used in computing the regression fit. This can be accomplished using a single data matrix by including these settings of the variables as part of the data matrix and by setting the response equal to NaN (not a number). NaN can be retrieved by the invocation of the function AMACH(6). The regression routine performing the fit will omit the case, and RCASE will compute a predicted value and confidence interval for the missing response from the given settings of the effect variables.
The type 3 informational errors can occur if the input variables X, R, B and SSE are not consistent with each other or if excessive rounding has occurred in their computation. The type 3 error message with error code 2 arises when X contains a row not in the space spanned by the rows of R. An examination of the model that was fitted and the X for which diagnostics are to be computed is required in order to insure that only linear combinations of the regression coefficients that can be estimated from the fitted model are specified in X. For further details, see the discussion of estimable functions given by Maindonald (1984, pages 166168) and Searle (1971, pages 180188).

The values of NaN and positive machine infinity can be retrieved by routine AMACH (or DMACH when using double precision), which is documented in the section “Machine-Dependent Constants” in Reference Material.

Example 2
A one-way analysis of covariance model is fitted to the turkey data discussed by Draper and Smith (1981, pages 243249). The response variable is turkey weight y (in pounds). There are three groups of turkeys corresponding to the three states where they were reared. The age of a turkey (in weeks) is the covariate. The explanatory variables are group, age, and interaction. The model is
where α3 = 0 and β3 = 0. Routine RGLM is used to fit the model. The option IDUMMY = 2 is used. The fitted model gives three separate lines, one for each state where the turkeys were reared. Then, RCASE is used to compute case statistics from the fitted model.
