Various influential measures based on different motivational arguments and designed to measure the influence of observations on different aspects of various regression results are elucidated and critiqued. The presence of influential observations in the data is complicated by the presence of multicollinearity. In this paper, when Liu estimator is used to mitigate the effects of multicollinearity the influence of some observations can be drastically modified.
