Robust Estimation of Location
位置参数的稳健估计
The problem of estimating a location parameter from a random sample when the form of distribution is unknown or there is contamination of the target distribution is attacked by deriving estimators which are efficient over a class of two or more forms (“pencils”) of continuous symmetric unimodal distributions. The pencils considered are the normal, double exponential, Cauchy, parabolic, triangular, and rectangular (a limiting case). The estimators considered are special…
