Breakdown points of t-type regression estimators
t 型回归估计量的崩溃点
To bound the influence of a leverage point, generalised M-estimators have been suggested. However, the usual generalised M-estimator of regression has a breakdown point that is less than the inverse of its dimension. This paper shows that dimension-independent positive breakdown points can be attained by a class of well-defined generalised M-estimators with redescending scores. The solution can be determined through optimisation of t-type likelihood applied to properly…
