摘要:
Consider the problem of estimating the mean of a distribution in which the observed data are believed to be highly susceptible to gross errors (i.e., a false reading of the true value of the variate). In such situations, so-called robust statistical techniques have been found to be useful. In a nutshell, the essence of robust location estimation is the downweighting of the influence of outliers, where the outlying status of an observation is determined either by its relative order in the sample or according to its distance from the estimate of location.
