چکیده
Robust stat ist ics seeks to provide methods that emulate popular stat ist ical methods, but which are not unduly af fected by out liers or other small departures f rom model assumptions. In stat ist ics, classical est imat ion methods rely heavily on assumptions which are of ten not met in pract ice. In part icular, it is of ten assumed that the data errors are normally distributed, at least approximately, or that the central limit theorem can be relied on to produce normally distributed est imates. Unfortunately, when there are out liers in the data, classical est imators of ten have very poor performance, when judged using the breakdown point and the influence function, described below.

A robust least squares fuzzy regression model based on kernel function
In this paper, a new approach is presented to fit arobust fuzzy regression model based on some fuzzy quantities. Inthis approach, we first introduce a new distance between two fuzzynumbers using the kernel function, and then, based on the leastsquares method, the parameters of fuzzy regression model isestimated. The proposed approach has a suitable performance to<b...
متن کاملRobust tests for testing the parameters of a normal population
This article aims to provide a simple robust method to test the parameters of a normal population by using the new diagnostic tool called the “Forward Search” (FS) method. The most commonly used procedures to test the mean and variance of a normal distribution are Student’s t test and Chi-square test, respectively. These tests suffer from the presence of outliers. We introduce the FS version of...
متن کاملRobust high-dimensional semiparametric regression using optimized differencing method applied to the vitamin B2 production data
Background and purpose: By evolving science, knowledge, and technology, we deal with high-dimensional data in which the number of predictors may considerably exceed the sample size. The main problems with high-dimensional data are the estimation of the coefficients and interpretation. For high-dimension problems, classical methods are not reliable because of a large number of predictor variable...
متن کاملRobustified distance based fuzzy membership function for support vector machine classification
Fuzzification of support vector machine has been utilized to deal with outlier and noise problem. This importance is achieved, by the means of fuzzy membership function, which is generally built based on the distance of the points to the class centroid. The focus of this research is twofold. Firstly, by taking the advantage of robust statistics in the fuzzy SVM, more emphasis on reducing the im...
متن کاملA Robust Dispersion Control Chart Based on M-estimate
Process control charts are proven techniques for improving quality. Specifying the control limits is the most important step in designing a control chart. The presence of outliers may extremely affect the estimates of parameters using classical methods. Robust estimators which are not affected by outliers or the small departures from the model assumptions are applied in this paper to specify th...
متن کاملA New Robust Bootstrap Algorithm for the Assessment of Common Set of Weights in Performance Analysis
The performance of the units is defined as the ratio of the weighted sum of outputs to the weighted sum of inputs. These weights can be determined by data envelopment analysis (DEA) models. The inputs and outputs of the related (Decision Making Unit) DMU are assessed by a set of the weights obtained via DEA for each DMU. In addition, the weights are not generally common, but rather, they are ve...
