	     This suite of functions can be used to compute some of
	     the regression diagnostics discussed in Belsley, Kuh
	     and Welsch (1980).
	
	     The primary function is lm.influence which is used by
	     the other functions to compute the basic statistics of
	     interest.  The other functions produce particular diag-
	     nostic quantities from the fundamental quantities pro-
	     duced by lm.influence.
	
	_V_a_l_u_e_s:
	
	     A list containing the following components:
	
	    hat : a vector containing the diagonal of the ``hat''
	          matrix.
	
	   coef : the change in the estimated coefficients which
	          results when the i-th case is dropped from the
	          regression is contained in the i-th row of this
	          matrix.
	
	  sigma : a vector whose i-th element contains the estimate
	          of the residual standard deviation obtained when
	          the i-th case is dropped from the regression.
