Data

data = { 'x': [25.3, 26.6, 37.6, 27.5, 28.4, 10.5, 33.1, -84.4, 16.2, 37.6, 32.5], 'y': [26.9, 32.4, 62.6, 43.9, 77, 16.4, 70.7, -220, -14.5, 56.2, 27.6] } df = pd.DataFrame(data)

Scatter plot

plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6)) plt.scatter(df['x'], df['y'], color='blue', label='Data points') plt.title("Scatter Plot of x vs y") plt.xlabel("x") plt.ylabel("y") plt.axhline(0, color='black', linewidth=0.5) plt.axvline(0, color='black', linewidth=0.5) plt.grid(color = 'gray', linestyle = '--', linewidth = 0.5) plt.legend() plt.show()

Identify outlier based on visual inspection

outlier = df[df['y'] == -220].iloc[0]

Regression without the outlier

df_no_outlier = df[df['y'] != -220] slope_no_outlier, intercept_no_outlier, _, _, _ = linregress(df_no_outlier['x'], df_no_outlier['y'])

Regression with the outlier

slope_with_outlier, intercept_with_outlier, _, _, _ = linregress(df['x'], df['y'])

(outlier, f"y = {intercept_no_outlier:.3f} + {slope_no_outlier:.3f}x", f"y = {intercept_with_outlier:.3f} + {slope_with_outlier:.3f}x")The outlier in the dataset is identified as the point (-84.4, -220).

Regression Equations:

1. Without the outlier:
   $y = -24.033 + 2.323x$

2. With the outlier:
   $y = -24.010 + 2.322x$

Is the outlier an influential point?

Yes, the outlier appears to be an influential point, as it affects the regression equation significantly.

Would you like a detailed breakdown or have further questions? Here are some relative questions to explore further:

1. How do we mathematically determine if a point is influential?
2. What methods can be used to handle outliers in regression analysis?
3. How does the presence of an outlier affect the residuals of a model?
4. Can the leverage statistic help quantify the influence of this outlier?
5. What are some real-world examples where outliers drastically affect regression analysis?

Tip: Always visualize your data before performing regression to identify potential outliers or influential points.
