Abstract:   (9306 Views)

Robust linear regression is one of the most popular problems in the robust statistics community. The parameters of this method are often estimated via least trimmed squares, which minimizes the sum of the k smallest squared residuals. So, the estimation method in contrast to the common least squares estimation method is very computationally expensive. The main idea of this paper is to propose a new estimation method in partial linear models based on minimizing the sum of the k smallest squared residuals which determines the set of outlier point and provides robust estimators. In this regard, first, difference based method in estimation parameters of partial linear models is introduced. Then the method of obtaining robust difference based estimators in partial linear models is introduced which is based on solving an optimization problem minimizing the sum of the k smallest squared residuals. This method can identify outliers. The simulated example and applied numerical example with real data found the proposed robust difference based estimators in the paper produce highly accurate results in compare to the common difference based estimators in partial linear models.
