All -

My question is a bit involved, so bear with me.

I have some data that looks like:
Lake    LL      LW
81      2.176091259     1.342422681
81      2.176091259     1.414973348
81      2.176091259     1.447158031
81      2.181843588     1.414973348
81      2.181843588     1.447158031
81      2.184691431     1.462397998
81      2.187520721     1.447158031
81      2.187520721     1.477121255
81      2.187520721     1.505149978
...

I'm trying to:
1) fit a simple lm(LW~LL)
2) calculate the dffits for those data points
3) remove those data points that are 2*sqrt(p/n) (where p=the number of 
parameters and n=number of data points; p=3 in a linear model, correct?  
Intercept, slope, and error term?)
4) rerun the model MINUS those data points
5) compare the two lm()

Now, each of these steps I can do seperately, but only by outputting the 
dffits to a .csv then removing the large dffits by hand, reading the .csv 
back into R, rerunning the lm(), and comparing the first lm() to the second 
lm().  I would imagine that there is a better (easier, I hope!) way to doing 
all of this.  Any ideas?  

My programming knowledge of R is rather limited but getting better all the 
time thanks to this board and the R-help archive.

Thanks,
