Martin - Thanks, but although hatvalues() is useful for calculating PRESS, I can't find anything directly relevant to my question in the influence help pages. After some burrowing in the literature I'm doubting there is an answer out there (PRESS R^2 is always presented in a fairly ad hoc way). This is a new topic, as you say, and perhaps better handled on a statistics list. Murray Efford

I think you should find the answer on the help pages (and in the source) of ? influence.measures (which documents a host of such functions) and ? influence Note that influence is S3 generic and methods(influence) indicates that the 'lm' and 'glm' methods are hidden. Of course I do recommend reading the real R source code (which also contains the comments and has some logical order in all the function definitions), but you can use stats ::: influence.lm to show a version of the function that looks not too different from the source.
