Abstract
ROSEPACK (RObust Statistics Estimation PACKage) is a system of Fortran subroutines and an interactive driver to compute solutions to the iteratively reweighted least square problem. The weights are determined from the data and the linear fit and are computed as functions of the scaled residuals.

Robust statistics: a selective overview and new directions
Classical statistics relies largely on parametric models. Typically, assumptions are made on the structural and the stochastic parts of the model and optimal procedures are derived under these assumptions. Standard examples are least squares estimators ...
On robust method of estimation in polynomial-sinusoidal regression
AbstractIn this paper we have considered the polynomial-sinusoidal regression model in presence of additive errors. The standard method of estimation of the unknown parameters is the least squares approach. It is well known that the least squares ...
A robust test of specification based on order statistics
Special Issue on the 2006 Data Exposition Competition of the American Statistical AssociationThe test of misspecification presented compares parametric and nonparametric regressions. The latter is estimated using order statistics, which provide robust and distribution free estimators. The former is estimated using, in turn, least squares and ...
