What do these numbers mean?
  • Cook D above 4/n is a screening flag.
  • Durbin–Watson is meaningful only in observation order.

The tool fits one predictor and does not replace subject-matter validation, cross-validation or a full time-series model.

How do I use this page?
  1. Paste paired observations.
  2. Inspect the residual plot and flagged rows.

What this page does not do: The tool fits one predictor and does not replace subject-matter validation, cross-validation or a full time-series model.

Theory — what is linear regression diagnostics for?

Linear regression diagnostics highlight observations and residual patterns worth reviewing after fitting a simple linear model to X and Y data. The calculator requires X and Y to stay in the same observation order, since the fit relies on matched pairs of points. Flagging a point as unusual does not automatically mean it should be removed from the analysis. It is worth checking the quality of the data itself first, and whether the chosen model form actually fits the relationship between the variables.

Frequently asked questions

Does a flagged point have to be removed?
No. Investigate data quality and model specification first.
