Abstract
The battery of diagnostic techniques developed during the past ten years to find influential observations, assess collinearity, check for data transformations, etc. can overwhelm an expert data analyst, let alone a novice. We are working on software systems that guide the analyst through these procedures and aid in interpreting the results. The tools we use are the S statistical analysis system from Bell Laboratories and HyperCard from Apple Computer. We discuss examples involving collinearity (New S) and solicitation of prior data information for use in diagnostic procedures (HyperCard).
