Influential observations do posed a major threat on the performance of regression model. Different influential statistics including Cook’s Distance and DFFITS have been introduced in literatures using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). The efficiency of these measures will be affected with the presence of multicollinearity in linear regression. However, both problems can jointly exist in a regression model. New diagnostic measures based on the Two-Parameter Liu-Ridge Estimator (TPE) defined by Ozkale and Kaciranlar (2007) was proposed as alternatives to the existing ones. Approximate deletion formulas for the detection of influential cases for TPE are proposed. Finally, the diagnostic measures are illustrated with two real life dataset.
