Breakdown points of Cauchy regression-scale estimators

چکیده
The lower bounds for the explosion and implosion breakdown points of the simultaneous Cauchy M-estimator (Cauchy MLE) of the regression and scale parameters are derived. For appropriate tuning constants, the breakdown point attains the maximum possible value.

Breakdown Points and Variation Exponents of Robust M-estimators in Linear Models
The breakdown point behavior of M-estimators in linear models with xed designs, arising from planned experiments or qualitative factors, is characterized. Particularly, this behavior at xed designs is quite diierent from that at designs which can be corrupted by outliers|the situation prevailing in the literature. For xed designs, the breakdown points of robust M-estimators (those with bounded ...
متن کاملA Simple Robust Estimation for Parameters of Cauchy Distribution
We define robust estimators for the parameters of the Cauchy distribution based on the probability integral method. The proposed estimators have bounded influence functions and high breakdown points. These estimators are simple, robust and consistent, but asymptotically less efficient than the maximum likelihood estimators which are not robust. A simulation study for finite sample size shows th...
متن کاملRedescending M-estimators in Regression Analysis, Cluster Analysis and Image Analysis
We give a review on the properties and applications of M-estimators with redescending score function. For regression analysis, some of these redescending M-estimators can attain the maximum breakdown point which is possible in this setup. Moreover, some of them are the solutions of the problem of maximizing the efficiency under bounded influence function when the regression coefficient and the ...
متن کاملRegression-Free and Robust Estimation of Scale for Bivariate Data
In this paper we present robust estimators for the dispersion of the errors in simple linear regression. Existing scale estimators are based on the residuals from an estimator of the regression itself. Instead, we propose scale estimators that do not depend on any previous estimate of the regression parameters. For this purpose we consider triangles formed by data points, and deene their vertic...
متن کاملRobust Regression
1. Introduction One of the most important statistical tools is a linear regression analysis for many fields. Nearly all regression analysis relies on the method of least squares for estimation of the parameters in the model. A problem that we often encountered in the application of regression is the presence of an outlier or outliers in the data. Outliers can be generated by from a simple opera...
