A new class of robust regression estimators is proposed that forms an alternative to traditional robust one-step estimators and that achieves the <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$\sqrt{n}$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> rate of convergence irrespective of the initial estimator under a wide range of distributional assumptions. The proposed reweighted least...</equationsource></inlineequation>

This paper extends an existing outlier-robust estimator of linear dynamic panel data models with fixed effects, which is based on the median ratio of two consecutive pairs of first-order differenced data. To improve its precision and robustness properties, a general procedure based on...

High-breakdown-point regression estimators protect against large errors and data contamination. We generalize the concept of trimming used by many of these robust estimators, such as the least trimmed squares and maximum trimmed likelihood, and propose a general trimmed estimator, which renders...

Many estimation methods of truncated and censored regression models such as the maximum likelihood and symmetrically censored least squares (SCLS) are sensitive to outliers and data contamination as we document. Therefore, we propose a semiparametric general trimmed estimator (GTE) of truncated...

The Nadaraya-Watson estimator of regression is known to be highly sensitive to the presence of outliers in the sample. A possible way of robustication consists in using local L-estimates of regression. Whereas the local L-estimation is traditionally done using an empirical conditional...

Classical parametric estimation methods applied to nonlinear regression and limited-dependent-variable models are very sensitive to misspecification and data errors. On the other hand, semiparametric and nonparametric methods, which are not restricted by parametric assumptions, require more data...
