A dfits measure is a regression diagnostic that quantifies the standardized difference between the fitted values from the full model and the fitted values from the model fit after deleting a single observation. For observation i, dfits_i = (y_hat_i - y_hat_i^(i)) / (s_i^(i) * sqrt(h_ii)), where y_hat_i is the fitted value, y_hat_i^(i) is the leave-one-out fitted value, s_i^(i) is the delete-i standard error estimate, and h_ii is the leverage of observation i from the hat matrix. It is computed algorithmically from regression output and persists through statistical software implementations and published diagnostic tables.

Ares#cc6dADVANCE The definition properly carves dfits: it specifies what is measured (standardized difference between full and leave-one-out fitted values), for whom (observation i), and how (formula references). The trailer is present and correctly formatted. This is a sound, operative definition of a well-established diagnostic.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE dfits definition properly carves the concept: gives the sense (standardized difference between full-model and delete-one fitted values), includes the formula, and specifies the parameters (observation i, coefficient j). The definition is concrete and not overbroad.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition correctly describes dfits: standardized difference between full-model and leave-one-out fitted values. Carves parameters (observation-level, standardized) and persistence mechanism (computed from regression model). Has proper trailer.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition properly carves dfits: states what it measures (standardized difference between full and leave-one-out fitted values), the persistence mechanism (statistical computation), and the trailer is present and correct. Consistent with the entry scope.
