Robust Estimation Using Least Trimmed Squares

نویسنده

  • Jurgen A. Doornik
چکیده

A robust procedure is proposed, starting from least trimmed squares as the initial estimator. The asymptotic distribution of the two-step and multi-step estimators is derived. This allows the use with a pre-specified efficiency under normality. It is argued that the good performance, together with the simplicity of the procedure, should make this the robust estimator of choice for applied work.

Robust Estimation of the Vector Autoregressive Model by a Least Trimmed Squares procedure

The vector autoregressive model is very popular for modeling multiple time series. Estimation of its parameters is typically done by a least squares procedure. However, this estimation method is unreliable when outliers are present in the data, and therefore we propose to estimate the vector autoregressive model by using a multivariate least trimmed squares estimator. We also show how the order...

Two-Stage Robust Optical Flow Estimation

We formulate optical flow estimation as a two-stage regression problem. Based on characteristics of these two regression models and conclusions on modern regression methods, we choose a Least Trimmed Squares followed by weighted Least Squares estimator to solve the optical flow constraint (OFC); and at places where this one-stage robust method fails due to poor derivative quality, we use a Leas...

Robust 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...

The Trimmed Lasso: Sparsity and Robustness

Nonconvex penalty methods for sparse modeling in linear regression have been a topic of fervent interest in recent years. Herein, we study a family of nonconvex penalty functions that we call the trimmed Lasso and that offers exact control over the desired level of sparsity of estimators. We analyze its structural properties and in doing so show the following: 1. Drawing parallels between robus...

Optical Flow from a Least-Trimmed Squares Based Adaptive Approach

Optical flow estimation can be formulated as two regression stages, derivative estimation and optical flow constraints (OFC) solving. Traditional approaches use LeastSquares at both stages and are sensitive to assumption violations. To improve estimation accuracy especially near motion boundaries, we use a Least Trimmed Squares (LTS) estimator to solve the OFC, obtaining a confidence measure fo...
