Abstract

The exponential normal regression model provides a flexible parametric approach to constructing growth charts or centile curves. We develop diagnostics for this model, with a special emphasis towards assessing the impact of individual cases on estimated centile curves. We also propose a standardized score residual that assesses the fit of individual cases to the location, scale, and skewness functions, respectively. An application of the proposed diagnostics is presented.
