Regularity and Uniqueness for Constrained M-Estimates and Redescending M-Estimates
约束M估计与回降型M估计的正则性和唯一性
Constrained M-estimates of multivariate location and scatter are found by finding the global minimum of an objective function subject to a constraint. They are related to redescending M-estimates of multivariate location and scatter since any stationary point of the objective function corresponds to such an M-estimate. Unfortunately, even for the population form of the estimator, that is, the constrained M-functional, the objective function may have multiple stationary…
