Robust Estimation Using Least Trimmed Squares
A robust procedure is proposed, starting from least trimmed squares as the initial estimator. The asymptotic distribution of the two-step and multi-step estimators is derived. This allows the use with a pre-specified efficiency under normality. It is argued that the good performance, together with the simplicity of the procedure, should make this the robust estimator of choice for applied work.
متن کاملTrimmed Least Squares
We consider two methods of defining a regression analogue to a trimmed mean. The first was suggested by Koenker and Bassett and uses their concept of regression quantiles. Its asymptotic behavior is completely analogous to that of a trimmed mean. The second method uses residuals from a preliminary estimator. Its asymptotic behavior depends heavily on the preliminary estimate; it behaves, in gen...
متن کاملMatrix strategies for computing the least trimmed squares estimation of the general linear and SUR models
An algorithm for computing the exact least trimmed squares (LTS) estimator of the standard regression model has recently been proposed. The LTS algorithm is adapted to the general linear and seemingly unrelated regressions models with possible singular dispersion matrices. It searches through a regression tree to find the optimal estimates and has combinatorial complexity. The model is formulat...
متن کاملWorking Paper Department of Economics ^simheteicallt Trimmki) Least Squares Estimation Foe Tobit Models
This papjer proposes alternatives to maximum likelihood estimation of the censored and truncated regression models (known to economists as "Tobit" models) . The proposed estimators are based on symmetric censoring or truncation of the upper tail of the distribution of the dependent variable. Unlike methods based on the assumption of identically distributed Gaussian errors/ the estimators are co...
متن کاملThe Multivariate Least Trimmed Squares Estimator
In this paper we introduce the least trimmed squares estimator for multivariate regression. We give three equivalent formulations of the estimator and obtain its breakdown point. A fast algorithm for its computation is proposed. We prove Fisherconsistency at the multivariate regression model with elliptically symmetric error distribution and derive the influence function. Simulations investigat...
