In this paper we present various diagnostic methods for elliptical multivariate regression
models. We show that the expressions, and consequently the distribution of some usual
standardized residuals, are invariant in the class of Elliptical models. This invariance is also
verified for some influence measures of dropping observations, such as the Cook's distance.
We also discuss the computation of the likelihood displacement as well as the normal
curvature in the local influence method. An example with real data is given for illustration.
