and Jarosz, A.: 1990, Recent developments in the application of the influence function method for ground movement predictions in the US.
To date, several methods can be used to predict the surface subsidence, including profile function [8], modelling [9], and influence function [10-12] methods.
Defining x as the residual error, mathematically, [rho](x) could be an even positive function with a unique minimizer at x = 0 Derivative of [rho](x) with respect to [X.sub.H], denoted [phi](x) = ([partial derivative]/[partial derivative] [X.sub.H])[rho](x)) is called the influence function, and can be used to define the bias that a particular observation has on the solution [26].
Secondly, the method of Recentered Influence Function Regression (RIF) was employed to estimate directly the impact of the explanatory variables on the distributional statistic of interest.
Figure 1 denotes the performance of different robust functions in the analysis of the influence function (IF) representing the sensitivity of the function with respect to error or contamination related to gross errors and outliers (Zhang et al., 2010; Prata, Schwaab, Lima, & Pinto, 2010).

while [phi](r) = [(1 + r).sup.-2[beta]], [beta] > 0 is the influence function. The system (1.1) can be rewritten in the form
Influence Function: it adjusts the individual knowledge of the population space according to the knowledge of the belief space.
