Checking for outliers in regression

According to Hoaglin and Welsch (1978) leverage values above 2(p+1)/n where p predictors are in the regression on n observations (items) are influential values. If the sample size is < 30 a stiffer criterion such as 3(p+1)/n is suggested.

Hair, Anderson, Tatham and Black (1998) suggest Cook's distances greater than 1 are influential.
