On The So - Called “ Huber Sandwich Estimator ” and “ Robust Standard Errors ” by
نویسنده
چکیده
The “Huber Sandwich Estimator” can be used to estimate the variance of the MLE when the underlying model is incorrect. If the model is nearly correct, so are the usual standard errors, and robustification is unlikely to help much. On the other hand, if the model is seriously in error, the sandwich may help on the variance side, but the parameters being estimated by the MLE are likely to be meaningless—except perhaps as descriptive statistics.

A Robust Adaptive Observer-Based Time Varying Fault Estimation
This paper presents a new observer design methodology for a time varying actuator fault estimation. A new linear matrix inequality (LMI) design algorithm is developed to tackle the limitations (e.g. equality constraint and robustness problems) of the well known so called fast adaptive fault estimation observer (FAFE). The FAFE is capable of estimating a wide range of time-varying actuator fault...
متن کاملSmall-sample adjustments in using the sandwich variance estimator in generalized estimating equations.
The generalized estimating equation (GEE) approach is widely used in regression analyses with correlated response data. Under mild conditions, the resulting regression coefficient estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal with its variance being consistently estimated by the so-called sandwich estimator. Statistical inference is thus accomplished by using the asymptotic Wald chi-squared...
متن کاملA Two-Phase Robust Estimation of Process Dispersion Using M-estimator
Parameter estimation is the first step in constructing any control chart. Most estimators of mean and dispersion are sensitive to the presence of outliers. The data may be contaminated by outliers either locally or globally. The exciting robust estimators deal only with global contamination. In this paper a robust estimator for dispersion is proposed to reduce the effect of local contamination ...
متن کاملModels as Approximations — A Conspiracy of Random Regressors and Model Misspecification Against Classical Inference in Regression
Abstract. More than thirty years ago Halbert White inaugurated a “modelrobust” form of statistical inference based on the “sandwich estimator” of standard error. This estimator is known to be “heteroskedasticityconsistent”, but it is less well-known to be “nonlinearity-consistent” as well. Nonlinearity raises fundamental issues because regressors are no longer ancillary, hence can’t be treated ...
متن کاملOutlier Detection for Support Vector Machine using Minimum Covariance Determinant Estimator
The purpose of this paper is to identify the effective points on the performance of one of the important algorithm of data mining namely support vector machine. The final classification decision has been made based on the small portion of data called support vectors. So, existence of the atypical observations in the aforementioned points, will result in deviation from the correct decision. Thus...
