“…We include five influential points in all covariates, and the following Monte Carlo scheme with 1000 replications is considered to compare performance. The data generation is as follows: y i ~ IG ( μ , σ ), where μ = E ( y i ) = 0.5, is the arbitrary mean and σ is dispersion parameter that is assumed to follow arbitrary values σ = 0.005,0.05,0.5,3,9 (also used in Amin et al). Here, the design matrix X with no influential points of the sample sizes n = 25,50,100,and 200 is generated as X ij ~ U (0,0.5), i = 1,2, … , n ; j = 1,2,3,4, and then we make 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th points as influential points in the X as x ij = a 0 + x ij , for i = 5,10,15,20,25; j = 1,2,3,4, where .…”
