The Least Trimmed Differences Regression Estimator and Alternatives
最小修剪差分回归估计量及其替代方法
This article proposes and studies the performance in theory and practice of the least trimmed differences (LTD) linear regression estimator. The estimator minimizes the sum of the smallest quartile of the squares of the differences in each pair of residuals. We obtain the breakdown point, maxbias curve, and large-sample properties of a class of estimators including the LTD as special case. The LTD estimator has a 50% breakdown point and Gaussian efficiency of…
